Market Trends of Lipase Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Lipase Market according to our research experts:
Wide Application In Food And Beverage Industry
Microbial lipases are widely used in the food industry, due to their substrate specificity. They work under mild conditions and are highly stable in organic solvents. Some of the common lipases used in the food industry include lysophospholipase, phospholipase, triacylglycerol, and so on. They are widely used in the processing of fats and oils, such as: modification of flavors through the synthesis of esters of short-chain fatty acids or selective hydrolysis of fat triglycerides to release free fatty acids, elimination of fat content in several food products, such as meat and fish products, to produce lean meat and also the lipases play a vital role at the fermenting stage of sausage manufacturing, by manipulating long-chain fatty acids, which are released during ripening.
Europe Holds A Significant share in The Market
Growing demand for processed foods, coupled with increasing awareness about health-conscious products is significantly propelling the growth of enzymes including lipase in the European food industry, which in turn is driving the growth of the world’s lipase market. In terms of the type segmentation, carbohydrases dominate the market, followed by proteases and lipases. Due to the high consumption of bread and baked goods in Europe, the bakery is the largest application segment in the region. In the bakery segment, lipase help by improving dough stability and increasing the shelf life of end products. The use of lipase in the dairy industry comes in second with the wide use of lipase in cheese processing. New technologies are emerging in Europe to produce genetically modified organisms strains, which can perform in adverse operational conditions and improve process efficiency.
