Food stabilizers – Insights
Food stabilizers are additive materials that are applied or sprayed to preserve the texture and quality of the food. Gelatin, gaur gum, starch, cellulose and carrageen are commonly used as food stabilizers. Growing urbanization, changing lifestyle, increasing disposable income and rapid adoption of convenience food are major factor augmenting demand for food stabilizers.
Increasing prevalence of foodborne diseases and rising awareness about the various advantages of food stabilizers against bacteria creates a highly favorable environment for growth of the food stabilizers market, especially in Europe and North America. Moreover, increasing working population in urban areas and growing demand for processed and ready to eat food in emerging economies of India and China is expected to drive market growth.
