Avocado oil, also known as alligator pear oil, is a plant oil extracted from the pulp of avocados. Rich in monounsaturated fats, vitamins A, C, and E, and various minerals, it offers numerous health benefits, including promoting heart health, supporting brain function, benefiting skin health, and aiding digestion. Its applications span from culinary uses, such as low-temperature cooking and baking, to direct consumption and inclusion in cosmetic products.
However, the transportation of avocado oil presents challenges due to its sensitivity to light, oxygen, and temperature, which can lead to oxidation and nutrient degradation. Traditional packaging methods, such as glass bottles, tin cans, stainless steel tanks, and plastic drums, have limitations in addressing these challenges. For instance, glass bottles are heavy and fragile, increasing transportation costs and the risk of breakage, while plastic drums have high oxygen permeability, making them suitable only for short-distance transportation.
Enter Paper Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), an innovative packaging solution designed to overcome these challenges. Paper IBCs are constructed with a multi-layer design:
● Outer Layer: High-strength polypropylene woven fabric with high tear resistance.
● Inner Liner: Multi-layer of food-grade polyethylene (PE) films prevent oil leakage.
