ABOUT REFRESHER COURSE
Centre for Lipid Research of Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (Hyderabad) is organizing a three day short course on Analysis of Oils and Fats by Conventional, Chromatographic and Spectral Methods in association with OTAI (SZ) and SEA during March 14-16, 2012, at IICT, Hyderabad. The Division is one of the highly productive divisions of IICT orienting its R&D activities complementing the vision of CSIR and the demands of the Indian vegetable oil industry. One of the recent developments during the 11th five year plan is the recognition bestowed on this Group by CSIR as The Centre of Excellence for Lipid Research. The vegetable oil industry is one of the oldest and a major industry contributing next only to the petrochemical industry and made rapid progress in recent times due to technological innovations. However, the industry needs to gear up to face the challenge of globalization and also address issues of environmental concern. The ever increasing demands of the quality conscious consumer and stringent food laws imposed by the Government pose not only great challenge to the industry but also offer opportunity to deliver products matching international quality and standards. The earlier short courses organized by IICT were highly successful as shown by the ratings given by the participants. Moreover, the request for organization of short course at regular intervals reflects the impact it made on the industry and academia. In this context, it was envisaged that a short course of 3 day duration would be appropriate to address the needs of the industry. The course has been designed to equip the participants with the latest and relevant information of analysis of oils and fats with a major thrust to contemporary interests like trans fatty acid, oryzonal content, phosphorus content etc. The course provides both theoretical and practical information to new plant personnel and an opportunity for those experienced to interact with experts in the field and enhance performance of their industry. The course focusses on Conventional, Chromatographic and Spectral Techniques practiced in vegetable oil industry viz. from raw material selection to processing and production.
