Studies on physico-chemical properties of oil extracted from Charoli (Buchanania lanzan Spreng.) during storage

Abstract

The present study “Studies on physico-chemical properties of oil extracted from Charoli (Buchanania lanzan Spreng.) during storage” was carried out at Dr. B.S.K.K.V., Dapoli University, Post Graduate Institute of Post-Harvest Technology and Management, Killa-Roha, Department of Post-Harvest Management of Medicinal, Aromatic, Plantation, Spices and Forest Crops, during the year 2023-2024.This experiment consisted of six treatments, which included different packaging materials viz., Amber colour bottle, Clear glass bottle, PET bottle (Non-transparent), Standing pouch with nozzle, White HDPE bottle and PET bottle (Transparent). The outcome of this study is that the Charoli oil stored in Amber colour bottles showed significant results. Amber colour bottle could be used to store Charoli oil upto one year at ambient condition without affecting the quality of oil.
