Anthocyanin Gaining Recognition as a Natural Colourant in Food Products

In the food and beverage sector, anthocyanin has become increasingly popular. An important category of plant-based pigments called flavonoids, anthocyanins, are used as natural colourants in a variety of industries. It comes in a range of anthocyanin colours and is tasteless and flavourless. It is expected that anthocyanin use in the food and beverage industry would rise. The market is expanding as a result of the increasing attention being given to the health benefits of anthocyanins and their expanding variety of uses in numerous sectors. Consuming foodstuffs high in anthocyanins is also associated with a shift in consumer lifestyles brought on by an increased awareness of wellbeing and health. Utilising anthocyanins can reduce the risk of lung and cardiovascular disease. The anthocyanin market is expected to be driven by two reasons throughout the forecast period: rapid urbanisation and an increase in disposable income. The expansion of the market is being fuelled by variations in consumption patterns, an increase in demand for sustainable food products and the creation of natural product concentrates.

Increasing Demand for Natural Food Colour Additives Leading to Market Growth

The pharmaceutical sector's demand for anthocyanin has surged due to its nutritional benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and protective effects against type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. North American consumers are becoming more health conscious, which is driving up the market's demand for healthy ingredients. The usage of anthocyanin as a natural colouring agent in nutritious foods is driving the anthocyanin market. The market expansion in China is being driven by the rising demand for anthocyanins in personal care products. The anthocyanin market is growing due to the significant presence of anthocyanin colour manufacturers, increased demand for anthocyanins derived from fruits and vegetables and rising consumption of food products high in anthocyanins. Anthocyanin, which is present in many fruits including cherries, berries, purple grapes, beets, red beans and red cabbage, has anti-microbial, anti-allergic, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant characteristics. Anthocyanins derived from fruit are widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Due to several health advantages, such as a reduced risk of heart disease and respiratory problems, anthocyanin market has expanded.

Recent Trends in the Anthocyanin Industry:

  • Innovative extraction techniques boosting purity and yield efficiency.

Anthocyanin’s Chemical Composition & Side Effects Bringing a Threat to Market Participants

Anthocyanins' susceptibility towards deterioration, particularly when separated, is the major concern restricting the market growth. To better comprehend and control the extraction process, it is important to have a basic awareness of anthocyanin chemistry and proper storage because a number of physicochemical variables have been found to interfere with anthocyanin stability. The majority of medications include side effects like weight gain and the inability to keep proper blood glucose levels. Consuming a diet high in fruits and vegetables is therefore a far safer and affordable method to regulate blood glucose levels and boost insulin production. Both of these factors are expected to be significant growth inhibitors for the anthocyanin market over the forecast period. The enforcement of strict government laws limiting anthocyanin consumption is anticipated to hamper the growth of the anthocyanin market.

Anthocyanin Market Expansion is Encouraged by New Launches & Acquisitions

Leading anthocyanin producers are concentrating on developing new analytical methods to detect and measure anthocyanin in plant materials. Over the forecast period, it is expected that leading market players will increase their market share through partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and the development of existing facilities. The DuPont Natural Colors Business, which was a division of DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences, was acquired by DDW, Inc. in July 2019. SECNA Natural Ingredients Group S.L, was acquired by Chr. Hansen Natural Colors in April 2021, and it was then added to the company's portfolio. Zamaize, an extract made from purple corn, was released in 2019 by NiroWell, LLC. The extract contains members of the Cyanidin, Peonidin, and Pelargonidin families of anthocyanins and is made from a patented purple maize variety known as Suntava. Zamaize is non-GMO, allergen-free, gluten-free and USDA-certified organic. The ingredient has the potential to be used in supplements, sports nutrition products, functional foods, and beverages. Nektium Pharma S.L. introduced an organic version of its 6% grade elderberry extract in 2022, along with a more recent, intensified grade of the product that contains 10% anthocyanins.

Rising Research & Development Initiatives Encourages the Anthocyanin Market

As a result of advancements in the chemical analysis of flavonoids, drugs that provide antioxidant protection against a number of chronic diseases have been developed. The work of food scientists has led to advancements in the epidemiology of anthocyanin in respect to metabolism and biosynthesis, phytochemical investigations, and plant frequency, making anthocyanin one of the most studied flavonoids. Due to increased investment in research and development to evaluate the properties of anthocyanins, the anthocyanin market is expanding. The continuously changing trends in end-use applications are expected to significantly transform the anthocyanin market. Due to its potential health benefits, anthocyanin is becoming more popular as a component in medications and specialty treatments.

Anthocyanin is a desirable component in medications and specialised therapies due to its therapeutic influence as well as its neuroprotective, anti-oxidative, and anti-cancer qualities which is renewing its appeal in the pharmaceutical sector. The use of smart packaging systems for food products has risen. With the development of smart packaging technologies, anthocyanin pigments are being used in a wider range of applications. Food scientists are developing new indicator-based smart packaging solutions using natural colours.
