(I-BusinessNews.Com, November 07, 2019 ) The gluten-free products market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2018, to reach USD 6,474.8 million by 2023. The gluten-free products market growth is attributed to health benefits and adoption of special dietary lifestyles and the increasing awareness about celiac diseases and other allergies. Relatively high cost of gluten-free products than normal products restrains the market growth for gluten-free products.
What are the opportunities in adopting microencapsulation technology to improve the shelf life of gluten-free products?
In conventional products, gluten protein is responsible for the management and retention of moisture, which, in turn, imparts the product with a relatively long shelf life. Therefore, due to the absence of gluten, gluten-free products tend to have a short shelf life and in most cases, do not have a good texture. Increasing the moisture retention and shelf life are tough goals to meet for gluten-free food manufacturers and require continuous R&D and incorporation of newer technologies to attain the desired shelf life.
Microencapsulation is one such technology that can be used to increase the shelf life and texture of gluten-free products. The same technology has been used to overcome the cardboard consistency of refrigerated pizza, rising crust pizza, and also for the shelf-life extension of frozen and refrigerated dough, frozen biscuit dough, scoop and bake frozen muffins, and biscuits.
The coatings used in the application of this technology are gluten-free. Further, there is a wide range of gluten-free fruit acids and lactic acid shNelf-life extenders, which when coated on the product can help deliver optimum & consistent leavening, thereby overcome pre-reactions. This can help in extending the shelf life and deliver an all-natural taste and texture with good consumer appeal.
Key players in the gluten-free products market include The Kraft Heinz Company (US), The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (US), Pinnacle Foods Inc. (US), General Mills, Inc. (US), and Kellogg Company (US).
