Use of mineral-oil based batching oil, called Jute Batching Oil (JBO) in the process of manufacturing jute products used for packaging food materials leads to possible hydro-carbon contamination of such bags which causes a kerosene type odour. Instead of the regular mineral-oil a vegetable-oil, Rice Bran Oil (RBO) is used for such cloth/bags. Being Hydrocarbon Free, VOT Jute Bags are now becoming most popular for carrying food grains .Both heavy duty jute sacks and light weight hessian/burlap bags are made as Food Grade with different specifications.

All are existing product offerings can be manufactured using vegetable oil instead of mineral oil to cater to the Food Industry needs. The bags and cloth processed using this technology fully conforms to the international specification as prescribed in IJO 98/01.
