Ghee packaging materials with Nichrome

Although ghee has long keeping quality and can be stored for 6 to 12 months under the right conditions, proper filling and packaging plays a crucial role. Exposure to heat, light, air, water vapour and certain metals can cause deterioration, making ghee rancid.

Nichrome offers technology to package ghee in all the most commonly used packaging materials:

Tin Cans: These are generally used for bulk packs of 5L and 15L, and coated to ensure rusting does not occur.

Glass bottles: These provide excellent protection to the ghee quality. Glass bottles are generally used for retail packs of 100g to 500g.

Semi-rigid containers: These are generally made from HDPE and offer the advantages of being light weight, economical and transport-worthy. These come in different types: blow moulded HDPE bottles, jars & jerry cans; and PET bottles which are odour free and offer gas barrier properties.

Flexible pouches: These are the most economical for ghee packaging. Materials used for pouches are chosen to fulfil the following criteria:

- should not react with ghee

- should be easily available at low cost

- should be nontoxic

- should not allow printing ink to penetrate into the ghee

- should have good barrier properties against spoilage

- should withstand transportation
