Key Market Trends

Meat and seafood product emulsifiers make the meat soft and help in improving the texture, reduce purge, minimize oxidation, cooking yields, effectively bind natural juices, and stabilize the product consistency. Their common application includes products, such as beef, pork, fish, poultry, and seafood. Companies, such as Palsgaard have developed and tested a series of mono-diglycerides and distilled mono-diglycerides which offer numerous benefits in hot processed meat emulsions, such as liver patties and liver sausages. Emulsifiers in this segment are solely for hot processed meat. The rising demand from the consumers to devour ready-to-eat food products having high quality and flavor is anticipated to drive the usage of emulsifiers altogether.
