Increasing Demand for Natural Additives Drives Middle East & Africa Flavor Masking Agents Market


Consumers are highly concerned about their diet. They pay attention to product labels and additives used in packaged food and beverages as well as dietary supplements. The popularity of organic products is increasing owing to their perceived health benefits. They are free of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which increase their appeal among consumers who are ready to pay higher prices. Moreover, consumers increasingly prefer clean-label products free of synthetic colors, flavors, and other additives. Further, they focus on holistic and conscious consumption and prefer products made with ethically sourced additives. Thus, the demand for natural additives is increasing in the food & beverage and nutraceuticals industries.

Prolamin is a plant storage protein found in the seeds of cereal grains such as rice and oats and accounts for ~5-10 % of the total proteins in those plants. Manufacturers and flavor companies could produce clean, labeled flavor masking agents by extracting, separating, and purifying prolamin-rich fractionation. Thus, an upsurging demand for natural additives is expected to create a new trend in the flavor masking agents in market in the coming years.
