Food antimicrobial additives are chemical substances that have a protective effect on foods and food products. They are commonly used as antimicrobials in beverages, cheese, bakery items, meat products and processed vegetables to reduce the growth of microorganisms that may cause spoilage and diseases. They are also used as preservatives to extend the shelf life of food and prevent bacterial contamination during storage. They can be classified into several types such as benzoates, sorbates, propionates, lactates, nitrates, and acetates.
Market Dynamics:
The food antimicrobial additives market is expected to grow with a rapid pace in the coming years. The demand for these additives is increasing due to increased consumer awareness and the global burden of foodborne illnesses. According to WHO estimates, around 125,000 children die from food-borne illnesses each year, primarily caused by contaminated food. In response to this growing concern, the food industry is developing various antimicrobial additives that are natural and can be incorporated into food and beverage products.
On the other hand, strict regulations regarding the use of antimicrobial in food is expected to hinder market growth.
