Why is the Importance & Usage of Clean Label Emulsifiers Rising Rapidly?

“Clean Label Emulsifiers – Ideal Alternative to Artificial Emulsifiers”

Clean label emulsifiers are becoming more and more popular as a result of the clean label movement. Clean label emulsifiers can be used in place of synthetic emulsifiers in the food business since they come with several health advantages.

The use of 100% natural ingredients in the manufacturing of clean label emulsifiers is a noteworthy trend in the market. Also, the benefits of clean label emulsifiers in the risk of intestine disorders elevate their acceptance among the population.

Additionally, there are a lot of other benefits, such as improvement of product stability by increasing protein and fiber content, lowering the risk of metabolic syndrome, etc. With so many positive health effects, customers are getting more attracted to clean label emulsifiers.

As product advancements and improvements increased, clean label emulsifier manufacturers are working to develop new emulsifiers that are natural, unmodified, and devoid of artificial additives to replace several popular synthetic emulsifiers, including DATEM, Mono- and diglycerides, SSL, etc.,

“Rise in Health Conscious among Global Population”

COVID-19 escalated health awareness across the globe, which further led to high consumer attraction towards healthy products. Clean label emulsifiers are a great option because they are free from artificial additives and do not cause any side effects.

Also, rising consumer eagerness about the ingredients used in their foodstuff generates awareness about clean label emulsifiers. As clean label emulsifiers are non-modified, less processed, natural, and free from synthetic additives, they have gathered huge traction among health-conscious consumers.

With the rise of the vegan population, consumers are in search of plant-based products. Also, the vegan population wants to check whether the ingredient is vegan or not. Clean label emulsifiers come across as a trustworthy product for the vegan population.

What Do Clean Label Emulsifier Producers Need to Watch Out For?

“Lack of Awareness about the Term Clean Label May Hinder Market Expansion”

Although there is a huge demand for clean label emulsifiers, most consumers are unaware of what that entails. Almost 34% of people are unaware of what a clean label emulsifier entails.

The three most important clean labels are natural, pesticide-free, and free of artificial additives. Such ambiguity will prevent the market from growing at its full potential.

Manufacturers are struggling with the challenge of eliminating all chemical emulsifiers and launching natural emulsifiers, which decreases output, while clean label emulsifier demand rises. Additionally, a high intake of natural emulsifiers can have certain undesirable side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which will restrain the growth of the clean label emulsifiers market to some extent.

Manufacturers are also working to develop new products that will meet the requirements for clean labels, but these innovations come with some drawbacks. For example, clean label emulsifiers based on whey protein and pectin complex have the drawback of requiring a high concentration of polysaccharides to maintain a constant emulsion, which causes non-absorbed polysaccharides to stimulate osmotic pressure and rise interaction between emulsion droplets, which may harm the stability of creaming.
