Download or read book Edible Oil Processing written by Wolf Hamm and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oils and fats are almost ubiquitous in food processing, whether naturally occurring in foods or added as ingredients that bring functional benefits. Whilst levels of fat intake must be controlled in order to avoid obesity and other health problems, it remains the fact that fats (along with proteins and carbohydrates) are one of the three macronutrients and therefore an essential part of a healthy diet. The ability to process oils and fats to make them acceptable as part of our food supplies is a key component in our overall knowledge of them. Without this ability, the food that we consume would be totally different, and much of the flexibility available to us as a result of the application of processing techniques would be lost. Obviously we need to know how to process fatty oils, but we also need to know how best to use them once they have been processed. This second edition of Edible Oil Processing presents a valuable overview of the technology and applications behind the subject. It covers the latest technologies which address new environmental and nutritional requirements as well as the current state of world edible oil markets. This book is intended for food scientists and technologists who use oils and fats in food formulations, as well as chemists and technologists working in edible oils and fats processing.

The sector has been witnessing a shift in consumer preferences, on the back of rising health awareness among population, which will be the key benefactor for its growth going ahead. To enable a better understanding of the industry status and prospects, Niir Project Consultancy Services has released a new research report titled ‘Market Research Report on Edible Oils in India (Present Status, Future Prospects, Industry Growth Drivers, Demand Scenario, Opportunities, Company Financials, Market Size, Sector Insights, Analysis & Forecasts upto 2017)’. The report analyzes Indian edible oil sector in profundity by sharing industry vitals like present status, structure, growth drivers, opportunities, demand-supply scenario and financial details of industry players. The report first focuses on the basic details of the industry like its structure and classification and then moves ahead with the growth potential analysis. It captures the future prospects of the industry by scrutinizing demand drivers and existing growth opportunities for edible oils in India. The analysis so established is meticulously expounded and supported by graphical representation and forecasts of key indicators. The report identifies growing population, urbanization, rising incomes and health consciousness as key value drivers that will benefit the industry in the near future. It further talks, in detail, about the present as well as the future demand supply scenario of edible oils in India. India produces a very trivial quantity of edible oils out of its total estimated demand and hence is largely dependent on imports. The demand supply situation in the sector is analyzed in various lights by studying the total consumption of edible oils in the country, per capita consumption, domestic production of edible oils, production of oil seeds and imports of edible oils in India. The report also includes forecasts of the total consumption numbers with respect to changes in the per capita consumption of edible oils. Although India is the largest producer of oilseeds in the world, a lot is left to be done to ensure self-sufficiency in edible oils. It also lists the prevalent excise and customs duty rates on edible oils. The report then moves ahead to give business and financial details of incumbents in the industry which gives a fair view of the competition in the sector. It covers business profiles of companies like K.S Oils Ltd, Adani Wilmar Ltd, Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd and Marico Ltd holding brands like Fortune, Saffola, Sunrich, K S Gold etc. The next segment provides complete financial details of edible players in the country. It covers contact information like address of registered office, director’s name and financial comparison covering balance sheet, profit & loss account and several financial ratios of the players. The report ends with a promising outlook of the sector. The industry has all the triggers in place to ensure a smooth ride in future. The favorable consumer dynamics of Indian market like rising disposable incomes, escalating population, urbanization and fast growing health consciousness among Indian population has kept the industry at high pedestrian. All these factors will be the growth benefactors of edible oils in the near future. Also, although Indian per capita consumption of edible oils is on the rise, yet we still lag behind the developed nations of the world which construes as a massive opportunity for edible oil players. Changing consumer preferences towards healthy oils will fuel the growth in small niche segments which were not explored till now and will send growth ripples across the segments (laterally as well as perpendicularly).

Download or read book Oilseed Production in India written by Vijay Paul Sharma and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the performance and potential of India’s oilseed sector, identifies the major constraints facing the industry and suggests options for increasing the country’s oilseed production and productivity, taking into account the changing policy environment, increasing demand, slow growth in domestic production and rising imports. India as the world’s largest producer of oilseeds, accounts for about 7-8 per cent of global vegetable oil production. However, the growth in domestic production has not kept pace with the growth in demand. Low yields and high production and market risks due to lack of irrigation facilities and effective risk management have been responsible for widening the demand-supply gap over the years, and the country now imports more than half of its oilseed for domestic consumption. The Technology Mission on Oilseeds (TMO), launched in the mid-1980s, helped achieve self-sufficiency in edible oil production through the spread of technology and the provision of market support. However, increasing demand for edible oils necessitated imports in large quantities, leading to a substantial drain on foreign exchange. Given the competing demands on agricultural land from various crops and enterprises, the production of oilseeds can be increased only if productivity is improved significantly and farmers receive remunerative prices and have assured market access. However, farmers face various constraints in oilseed production; several biotic, abiotic, technological, institutional and socio-economic constraints inhibit exploitation of the full yield potential of crops, which need to be addressed. The book explores these issues using data collected from about 2,000 oilseed growers: 490 soybean farmers, 316 rapeseed-mustard growers, 470 groundnut farmers, 250 sesamum farmers and 470 sunflower growers from selected Indian states. It would be of immense use for scholars and policy makers alike who are working in this field.
