Vegetable Oil: Demand for New Flavours on the Rise

In recent years, the market for vegetable edible oils has expanded with the demand for new flavours like groundnut, sesame, rice bran and sunflower witnessing a surge

India has truly come to love the concept of experimenting with food and palates, mostly due to the global culinary scenario being played at the forefront of entertainment media for the last seven years. People are delving into the complexities of texture and flavour, among the many facets of cooking.
One of the highest trending ingredients in the market today is flavoured cooking oil. In North India for example, soybean oil and mustard oil is prevalent, whereas in the south, people prefer to cook with coconut oil.
Recently however, the market for vegetable edible oils has expanded. The demand for new flavours like groundnut, sesame, rice bran and sunflower has increased. The culinary oil associations facilitate about a 10% development in business, per annum. The oil industry in India is a substantial industry and the diverse business sector has a distinctive value.
With the rise in demand for new flavours that may or may not be easily available in India, recently there has been quite a hike in the import duty of certain edible oils. This is why brands closer to home take pride in the consistent quality of their products and are seen in the marketplace as responsible corporates, taking food safety, health and hygiene to the commercial kitchens and bakeries. In the current scenario, a compromise on quality is out of the question.
Home cooks and chefs alike are now concerned with all aspects of their ingredients. There is a greater level of awareness among consumers not only about cooking bases but also regarding more new ingredients that they hadn't even heard of in the past.
This sudden surge of interest in the culinary universe has proved to be a boon for the edible oil industry and has made it possible for them to deliver better and innovative products. The idea is simple - if you're trying to sell a product to someone who wouldn't know what to do with it, it's likely that the sale will fall through. But now that people want things that may be a little out of their physical reach, it makes it easier for Indian oil manufacturers to delve into newer markets. Vegetable oil, for instance, has become a large industry but only a handful of leading companies have been able to make a mark in this space. So while cooks and chefs experiment in the kitchen, oil manufacturers are investing the best R&D resources in their own business experiments.
In terms of food safety and reliability, The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) notified their proposed standards on trans-fats in Vanaspati/Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (PHVO) saying that the manufacturers need to make items with under 10% trans. Additionally, every one of the makers ought to specify the trans content of their product on the labels.
Chefs and food enthusiasts continue to be engaged and have a lot to look forward to in terms of innovative contributions to their own kitchens by edible oil companies such as Kamani Oils - the first organisation to have sustenance well-being affirmation and also the first to manufacture a range of fats and other products for the dessert industry. With the rate at which companies are growing, particularly Kamani Oils, it seems like the edible oil industry is in a good place at the moment with all its bases covered.
