Edible oil is an integral part of everyday cooking; at present the annual per capita consumption of vegetable oil in India is about 19.4 kg as against 3.4 kg during 1950s. Unfortunately, the annual compound growth rate of major edible oilseeds in India went negative. This phenomenal disparity in demand and supply of vegetable oil in India bothers the country with profuse investment on overseas purchase. India being the major producer of rice, its milling yields huge amount of barn which contain up to 24% edible grade oil with superior quality profiles that could eventually reduce pressure on oilseeds crops of India.
