Edible Emulsifier Market: Growing Preference for Bakery Products to Drive Growth

Emulsifiers are compounds characterized by hydrophilic (i.e. water-soluble) part and a non-polar (i.e. hydrophobic) part and are used to stabilize emulsions. Edible emulsifiers, also called food emulsifiers, are extensively used as food additives in food processing industries for a variety of reasons. Emulsifiers are popularly used to make substantial changes required to be made in the structure and texture of various food products, including breads and cakes, dairy products, salad dressings, and sauces. They are used mainly to make food appealing and in ensuring the consistency of the various components of food in preparations. In particular, the use of emulsifiers prevents the formation of molds caused due to the separation of oil and fat in food products.


Commercially available emulsifiers can be sourced from nature, comprising plant- and animal-based or can be manufactured synthetically. Some of the key raw materials used are rapeseed oil, palm oil, soy bean oil, sunflower oil, and lard. Modern food production and processing units are increasingly preferring edible emulsifiers sourced naturally, either from proteins and phospholipids.
