Nanotechnology in Food Industry – A Defining Trend for Global Food Encapsulation Market

Encapsulation controls and protects the release of bioactive compounds in the food. Food encapsulation stabilizes ingredients to remove unpleasant tastes and retain the original flavor of the food.

Transparency Market Research (TMR), in its new publication, highlights the major driving factors and restraints of the global food encapsulation market. As per the findings of the new report, this market is expected to benefit from the growing consumer preference for convenient and healthy food products. TMR’s expert team answers the following questions connected to the global food encapsulation market:

Q. What could drive and restrict the global food encapsulation market in the future?

A. Changing lifestyles have led to a diversification of food items, allowing functional foods to make inroads into the global market. Functional foods supply essential nutrients and also contain disease-preventing ingredients. The growing need to follow healthy eating habits is expected to drive the demand for functional foods and processed foods in the near future. Thus, healthier eating habits are likely to drive the global food encapsulation market as encapsulation promotes the development of functional food.

It is a big task for food encapsulation industries to maintain the consistency of encapsulated food products. This is one of the major challenges faced by manufacturers of encapsulated food. High cost of manufacturing encapsulated food is another factor, which leading players need to tackle. Stringent government regulations regarding the use of specific materials to manufacture encapsulated food limit the scope for introducing new products.

Q. Is there any connection between food encapsulation and nanotechnology?

A. Yes, nanotechnology is being increasingly implemented in food encapsulation. Nanoencapsulation is a new technology in food encapsulation, favoring the production of functional food. The growing application of nanotechnology in the field of functional food production is expected to increase the scope of research and development activities.

Lately, AVEKA Group, one of the leading companies in the global food encapsulation market was in the news. AVEKA Group provides micro encapsulation, particle food processing, and many other services. The company recently acquired CCE Technologies. With this acquisition, CCE Technologies is predicted to complement the process technologies of AVEKA to expand their food encapsulation processing capabilities.

Following is an overview of nanotechnology applications being currently tested and applied in the food encapsulation technology:

• Agriculture: Nanocapsules are used to deliver fertilizers, pesticides, and other agri-chemicals efficiently.
• Food processing: Nanocapsules are being used to improve the bioavailability of nutraceuticals in cooking oils.
• Food packaging: Nanoclays are used in food products to prevent loss of oxygen and spoilage.

Q. What are the changing trends in the global food encapsulation market?

A. Changing trends in the technology are expected to create many new growth opportunities in the global food encapsulation market.

Renewable materials that can be easily fabricated can be beneficial in the manufacturing process of functional food. This is likely to benefit the global food encapsulation market.

Experts predict that nanotechnology will impact all phases of the food production chain, including processing, packaging, storage, sales, and distribution. As food scientists target specific solutions for manufacturing food, they are aiming to enter the food encapsulation space.

Confectionery food products such as candies and chewing gums require encapsulated sweeteners to maintain their sweetness. The growing demand for candies and chewing gums and their increasing varieties is expected to boost the global food encapsulation market.

Going forward, the global food encapsulation market is anticipated to achieve new milestones. The growing application of food encapsulation in food packaging, food processing, and agriculture is expected to create new growth opportunities in the global market. Key players such as ABCO Laboratories Inc, AVEKA Group, Encapsys Microencapsulation, and Advanced BioNutrition Corporation aim to invest more efforts to study the use of nanotechnology in food encapsulation.

Global Food Encapsulation Market to Benefit from Rising Demand for Healthy yet Convenient Food

Food encapsulation is considered vital for stabilizing food ingredients and removing the bad taste of certain additives. In a new research report, titled “Food Encapsulation Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2013 – 2019,” Transparency Market Research aims at identifying the various factors that have been crucial in determining the food encapsulation market’s growth trajectory. Hence, it presents insights into growth drivers and restraints influencing the market trends and identifies the opportunities that may prove lucrative for the market in the near future.

Food encapsulation covers techniques involving the incorporation of food ingredients, cells, enzymes, and other materials for use in the fermentation of food products such as dairy, beer, meat, and wine. Apart from these applications, the food encapsulation technique is also used when making confectionaries such as candies and chewing gum. Application of encapsulation has considerably increased across the food industry in recent years, since it protects the encapsulated food from extreme temperature fluctuations, moisture, and heat. As consumers around the world increasingly demand healthier variants of convenience food, analysts expect the market for food encapsulation to expand rapidly in response.

The changing lifestyle of consumers has been the primary factor fuelling demand for convenient food products, which in turn has compelled enterprises in the food encapsulation industry to introduce functional foods. Functional foods are highly nutritious and are known to have diseases preventing properties. Additionally, these foods can be preserved for a longer duration, which is a prime factor fuelling their demand globally. As the number of health-conscious consumers increases rapidly, the demand from the food encapsulation industry is also poised to surge in response in order to cater to the changing consumer preferences.

Regionally, the food encapsulation market has been gaining from the lucrative prospects in North America, which has emerged as a major manufacturer of encapsulated food products, followed by Europe. To provide a further detailed perspective of the market’s growth trajectory, the report segments the market based on type into hybrid technologies, nanoencapsulation, and microencapsulation. Owing to its flexibility, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, microencapsulation is preferred over hybrid technologies and nanoencapsulation.

Compiled with the intent of updating the market’s stakeholders about the prevailing market trends, the report also dedicates a section to analyzing the prevailing competitive landscape. It therefore includes the profiles of leading companies such as ABCO Laboratories Inc., Blue California, Encapsys Microencapsulation, Advanced BioNutrition Corporation, FrieslandCampina Kievit, Balchem Corporation, Cargill Inc., GAT Food Essentials GmbH, Aveka Group, Firmenich Inc., and Coating Place Inc., among others.

Using SWOT analysis, the strengths and weaknesses of these companies are evaluated and the opportunities and threats that they may witness in the forthcoming years are identified.
