Growing Demand for the Natural Products
Consumers are increasingly seeking natural foods that are free from artificial ingredients and additives. Polyphenol-rich foods naturally are sourced from fruits, vegetables, grains, and other plant sources. These carry natural benefits and perfectly match the requirements of the consumers who are looking for natural products. Natural and functional foods are often perceived as premium options. Growing demand for natural and functional foods motivates manufacturers to develop innovative products.
Manufacturers are developing easy polyphenol content extraction and processing methods from natural products for its various applications. The new techniques are helpful in the efficiency of polyphenol-rich food production. For instance, in October 2023, RFI Ingredients, a provider of novel whole food solutions applied its proprietary fermentation technology, FermaPro, a multi-step method to unlock the polyphenol potential of berries.
Difficult Polyphenols Processing and High Cost
Extracting polyphenols from their natural sources can be a complex and expensive process. The choice of extraction method significantly impacts the yield and quality of the extracted polyphenols. Polyphenols can degrade over time due to light, heat, and oxygen exposure. This limits the shelf life of polyphenol-rich food products and requires careful packaging and storage solutions.
Also, the concentration of polyphenols can vary significantly within the same food source depending on factors like growing conditions, ripeness, and processing methods. This variability makes it difficult to standardize the polyphenol content in food products. All these issues lead to increased prices of the product making it difficult for price-sensitive consumers to adopt them.
