But for others these are not easily available. Hence it is
only Vanaspati which meets the need of the lower income groups
and protects them against oxidative rancidity of oil.
The
industry plays an important role in the development on non-traditional/minor
oilseeds. A wide variety of edible oils can be used in the
manufacture of Vanaspati without affecting the quality, acceptability
and utility of the end product. The industry has helped development
of unconventional edible oils like cotton seed oil, Rice Bran
Oil, Mahua Oil, Nigerseed Oil and such other minor oils.
RAW

Availability
of oils
The industry uses a number of edible vegetable oils which
are used for production of Vanaspati. These oils are of two
qualities: -
- Expeller
quality
- Solvent
Extracted Oils
The solvent
extracted oils cannot be directly consumed for edible purpose
except through the medium of Vanaspati or by retaining them.
To reduce the dependence on imported oils the government has
been making constant efforts to increase the production of
Solvent Extracted Oils by encouraging their use in the manufacture
of Vanaspati. Fiscal incentives have been made available to
the Vanaspati Industry time to time to ensure that greatest
quantity of minor oils and rice bran oil are processed into
the edible oils and used in Vanaspati product.
