The nutritional profile of the fraction of ultra-processed food consumption, which showed higher energy density, higher overall fat content, higher saturated and trans fat, higher levels of free sugar and less fiber, protein, sodium, and potassium, when compared to the fraction of consumption related to natural or minimally processed foods, have propelled the demand. Thus, the increasing demand for processed food in the region is expected to boost the market sales.
Citric Acid is the Most Used Acidulant
