Abstract
Deepam oil or Pooja oil is used at home or in temples for lighting lamps. People use
this oil daily for lighting up the lamp in their house or any other lamps at festive
places. Deepam oil can be found in various sizes in the market such as 50ml, 250ml,
500ml and 1 litre. Deepam oil is produced by mixing five oils including Coconut oil,
Sesame oil, Castor oil, Neem / Mahua (Illupai) bran oil and Rice oil. The constitution
of oil is regionally variable. Usually this mixing process is performed by hand. The
essential oils can be bought from manufacturers or extracted using the machine for oil
extraction. Most manufacturers simply buy the oils, manually mix them at their plant
and sell the Pancha Deepam oil. Characteristics of this Pooja oil produced will be
tested to ensure blending is optimum.
