Dynamique du marché des épaississants alimentaires en Amérique du Nord

Conducteurs

• Demande croissante de boissons non alcoolisées, notamment de jus de fruits et de boissons énergisantes

Food thickeners are added to fruit juices to add viscosity to the product. Fruit juice is a non-fermented beverage obtained by mechanically squeezing or macerating fruits. Fruit juices such as orange, apple, mango, mixed fruit, and others are growing due to their wide range of health benefits. Different types of fruit juice offer varied health benefits.

For instance,

Avocado juice boosts natural energy in the body. Watermelon juice keeps the body hydrated and improves metabolism. Papaya juice caters to healthy digestion. Lemon juice fights viral infections. Pineapple juice reduces cholesterol levels. Orange juice reduces signs of aging.

Changing lifestyles and altering consumers' eating patterns have resulted in an increased intake of affordable, healthy, and quick sources of nutrition like packaged fruit juices. In addition, manufacturers are introducing a wide array of flavors and producing preservative-free and sugar-free fruit juices to expand the consumer base, boosting the overall demand for fruit juices worldwide.

Also, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, fruit and vegetable juice consumption has increased globally because of health benefits. Various players in the regional and international markets have launched products with fortified vitamins and minerals to boost peoples' immunity.

• Advantages and several functions associated with the use of food thickeners

Food thickeners are mostly used to increase the viscosity of the liquid without changing its property. Food thickener is used as a food additive which will increase the suspension and emulsification of the product to stabilize it. Food thickener is predominantly utilized in food and beverage manufacturing like puddings, sauces, soups, and so forth.

Entirely solid food may also cause choking while swallowing. However, the thickened liquid passes so effortlessly, and nutrients can't be obtained from the frame. Thus, a thickener is used to maintain the balance. This is the main reason food thickener acts as a boon for cancer, trauma, and neurology disorder patients who can't swallow food.

In addition, food thickener is very useful for older adults who suffer from swallowing problems. The swallowing problem is prevalent in geriatric populations and is hard to prevent. This problem may be caused by several factors. Like health reasons, neurological diseases, strokes, and cancers. Another concern for sig food tickers in adults is tooth loss. However, there is evidence that food thickeners reduce the aspiration problem in seniors. Speech pathologists have assessed the impact of food thickeners. This has helped them bring new strategies to expand the scope of the use of food thickeners in countering the swallowing problem. These aforementioned advantages are expected to be a driving factor for the North America food thickeners market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Possible health concerns regarding xanthan gum and carrageenan

Xanthan gum is shown to have side effects on human health. People who are exposed to xanthan gum powder might experience flu-like symptoms, nose and throat irritation, intestinal gas (flatulence), bloating, and lung problems.

Many doctors prescribed not to take xanthan gum during pregnancy and breast-feeding. As of now, not enough information is known about the use of xanthan gum during pregnancy and breast-feeding. But, to stay on the safe side, doctors prescribed avoiding using larger amounts of xanthan gum than those normally found in foods. In addition, xanthan gum is not prescribed to anyone having nausea, vomiting, appendicitis, hard stools that are difficult to expel (fecal impaction), narrowing or blockage of the intestine, or undiagnosed stomach pain as it is a bulk-forming laxative that could be harmful in these situations.

Also, xanthan gum might lower blood sugar levels during surgery. There is a concern that it might interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Therefore, stopping using xanthan gum at least two weeks before a scheduled surgery is prescribed. In addition, blood sugar can be decreased by decreased absorption of sugars from food by xanthan gum. It is harmful to patients with diabetes as diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar.
