Food emulsifiers are the most common additives used to improve the consistency of food products, especially baked foods. It enhances the quality of batters by conditioning the dough, which in turn increases the ability of the batter to be whipped. They are widely used in the production of pasta to make it resistant to overheating and overcooking. These emulsifiers are being used to facilitate the production of food and to help retain consistency and freshness. For low fat spreads, food emulsifiers can help prevent the growth of moulds that would occur if oil and fat were to be separated. Based on class, food emulsifiers are divided into synthetic and natural.

Market Analysis

The global food emulsifiers industry is majorly driven by the food industry, especially the bakery and confectionary industry, which is rapidly growing owing to the increased demand for convenience and premium food among consumers.

The increasing innovations in the industry, helping confer enhanced stability, volume, organoleptic properties, and extended shelf life capabilities to the product are expected to aid the growth of the market in the coming years.

The demand growth owes to the growing awareness among consumers about the health benefits of food emulsifiers as they are increasingly preferring emulsifiers over trans-fat.
