 |
The hydrocolloids market has seen double digit growth rates between 2005 and 2009, with their fat replacer applications being boosted by the global health and wellness trend, according to a new Leatherhead report. Emulsion stabilizers, suspending agents, gelling agents, thickeners, fibre sources, mouthfeel improvers, fat replacers and processing aids all come under the umbrella of hydrocolloids, with the report Key Players in the Global Additives Industry, showing growth has generally been highest in sectors such as gelatine and pectin. The researchers note that pectin, in particular, is coming to be appreciated for its versatile qualities in a category that now accounts for 17 per cent of global food additives market, and was valued at $4.2bn in 2009. The price and availability of some hydrocolloids remain volatile for many reasons due to issues of capacity, grade or country of origin, with the Leatherhead researchers citing recent hikes in raw material, transportation and energy costs as the main factors. |
