The food antioxidants market is growing due to increasing demand from the prepared food industry
Food antioxidants are a class of compounds with the property of preventing oxidative rancidity in various food products; hence, they are used for the preservation of food products such as processed foods, dairy products, meat, seafood, oils, beverages, and bakery. F&B manufacturers across the globe use food antioxidants to maintain the nutrients, color, flavor, and texture of their products. Owing to the increasing demand for prepared food products in emerging markets like India, China, and Brazil, the market offers potential growth opportunities to the market players in the near future.
The US and the developed countries in Europe are currently witnessing a trend of consumption of “natural and healthy” foods; hence, they are more inclined toward natural food antioxidants, due to their health benefits and fewer side effects. In developing countries, however, natural food antioxidants are priced higher than their synthetic counterparts; hence, synthetic antioxidants see more demand in these regions. This trend can also be attributed to the less-stringent regulations for food antioxidants in developing countries, as compared to those in developed ones.
