Key Market Trends
Carbohydrate-based Fat Replacers Hold the Largest Market Share
In the market studied, the carbohydrate-based fat replacers segment retains its position at the top of the market and accounted for a market share of about 58% in 2016. Carbohydrate-based fat replacers help retain texture, moisture, viscosity, and provide mouth-feel and continue to lead the market because of its status as US FDA recognized GRAS substances. Cellulose (Avicel® cellulose gel, MethocelTM, Solka-Floc®) can replace some or all of the fat in dairy products, sauces, frozen desserts, and salad dressings. Finely ground micro-particles of cellulose provides a non-caloric network with smoothness and flow properties similar to fat. Fiber-based products, such as guar gum, locust bean, xanthum gum, gum arabic, pectins, and carrageenan have virtually no calories. They provide a thickening or gelling effect and promote a creamy texture within the food. Gums, KELCOGEL®, KELTROL®, SlendidTM, can be used in reduced-calorie and fat-free salad dressings. They can also be used to reduce the fat content in formulated foods such as processed meats and desserts.
