    LITRETURE REVIEW

    Cooking Oil Type and Use Chart

    There are many different types of oils used in cooking. What are the

    various types of oils best used for, and which are most healthy for you?

    Many oil types give a distinctive flavor to their dishes, so a lot of this has to

    do with what flavors you enjoy in your foods. Try getting a combination of

    the various healthy oils and experiment with them to bring diversity to your

    menu! Also note that most people get WAY too many Omega-6 oils in their

    diet and not enough Omega-3s. The proper ratio should be 3:1 of 6 oils to 3

    oils, instead of the current average ratio of 10:1. So decrease the amounts of

    Omega-6s you eat, and kick up the Omega-3 levels!

    Be sure to follow the temperature guidelines. If you heat an oil too hot, it can

    start to smoke, ruining your food and smoking out your home. Also,

    overheating an oil can destroy its health benefits and even turn the healthy

    oils into trans fatty acids. Omega-3s should be served cold. Omega-6s should

    be used under 212F. Store oils in a dark cool place, and use within a year.

    DISCRIPTION OF PROBLEM-

    Brand name plays a very important role in market. STAR company

    face many problems with the evolution of alternatives because of customer

    always find alternative product regarding with price, quality, and

    availability. This is the company main problem. Company also has the

    distribution problem and market sharing problem. Find out customer needs&

    expectations from product and company. Company has lots of product so

    customer is in confusion. Company faces the tough compition in edible oil

    products. Also the customers post purchase behavior, purchase decision

    impact on company sale. Company market share are not too good as per other

    edible oil companies.

    There are 9 competitors for STAR edible oil there are Gemini,

    Sffola, Sunflower, Dhara, Rohini, Sunrise, Tigher, Samrat& Safflower

    etc.In rural area product awareness is less. So it is important to think about itand also price are not affordable for rural area people. There is need to

    improve product awareness in Pamolin Oil & Groundnut Oil because

    prices are less as compared to other product in market.

    Price is depending on the quality product.

    Healthcare products price is more than the regular Soya oil or Pamolin Oil.

    Many health care oils are available in market health experts already expectsthat, so how customer preference the star edible oil?
