China Food Enzymes Market Trends and Insights
Growing Popularity of Specialty Ingredients
Specialty ingredients are the most important products which guarantee the shelf life of the vast range of processed foods. They range from a wide variety of macro ingredients, such as fibers, carbohydrates, fats, and specific proteins, to other micro-ingredients, including minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. They typically perform various functional activities to enhance the quality and taste of the products. The health-related, nutritional, and technological functions of these products make the diet pleasant for consumption, tasty, safe, healthy, and even affordable. Manufacturers are focusing on providing all-natural specialty ingredients that increase the shelf-life of the product and enable them to label their products as "100% all-natural", addressing consumer demand for "clean labels." Further, as a result of the increasing use of protease in sports nutrition and supplements, producers are offering a variety of protease-derived supplements. Following the demand for protease-derived goods, the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China (NHC) approved ten new food additives in 2021, including three new enzymes (Protease Alpha-amylase and Lactase).
