Growing Demand for Retail Food
Food retail is a highly competitive industry, both in developed and developing markets. Increased number of retailers, retail channels, and formats are increasing consumer access to process and convenience foods, further increasing demand for food additives by the food and beverage industry. While providing consumers with competitive prices, quality, and services, the organized retail sector exposes consumers to label information and quality comparison with both private labels and branded products.
Growing Demand for Sugar Substitutes
Sugar substitutes are food additives that are used to duplicate the effect of sugar in taste, usually with less food energy. The majority of sugar substitutes approved for food use are artificially synthesized compounds. However, some bulk natural sugar substitutes are known, including sorbitol and xylitol, which are found in berries, fruit, vegetables, and mushrooms. Sugar substitutes, like stevia, aspartame, sucralose, neotame, acesulfame potassium, and saccharin, are approved by the USDA and are categorized under GRAS in the American region.
