For instance, in January 2024, Purato launched Intens Soft & Fine Bread emulsifier, a clean label baking bread emulsifier that adds extra softness to bread and works on enzyme technology, that replaces the use of expensive ingredient such as lipases, full-fat soy flour, providing improved texture and quality shelf life in hamburgers buns, brioche, panettone and donuts. Company also developed temporal dominance of sensation a sensory technology, that helps in differentiating between normal bread and enzyme-based emulsifier, and showed that bread with enzyme-based emulsifier present are more soft and increased moisture in every bite.

Additionally, the increasing adoption of enzyme-based emulsifier has grown among consumers as these are more natural and in line with consumer preference for transparent labelling, without affecting the quality and taste of the bread. For instance, in December 2023, Vantage Food launched Simply kake emulsifier, a clean label initiative, providing bakers to have taller, longer and evenly baked sweets and cakes, giving longer shelf life, and expanding market growth.

Rising Inability to Meet Clean-Label Demand and Increasing Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Impacts the Market Growth

Increasing inability to meet clean-label is one the significant challenge for bread emulsifier industry, as raw material sourcing for emulsifier such as fatty acids, mono and diglycerides come from plant derivatives such as palm oil, soy bean and sunflower and is associated with communities and environmental sustainability issue, such as extraction of palm oil is linked to violation of human rights. For instance, according to the report of April 2024, after analysing the health data of 104,139 people, found that emulsifiers are ultra-processed food that increases the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Emulsifiers such as mono and diacetyl tartaric acid esters as per 100mg per day, increases 4% risk of health issues, hampering the growth of market.

Furthermore, for each type of different bread ingredients, new enzymes are required to work, resulting into development of new formulation of enzyme every specific bread ingredient, led to more processing and research cost. In addition, the consumption of emulsifier more than the recommended limit is considered unsafe and can cause severe health risk.

Changing Customers Preference for High Quality Non-Gmo Plant-Based Emulsifier Fuels the Market Growth

The increasing adoption of vegan and vegetarian lifestyle has increased the demand for plant-based emulsifier as it provides healthy dietary choices, avoiding synthetic and animal-derives ingredients, resulting into greater demand for superior finishing, because of this many market players are introducing new techniques. For instance, in May 2023, IFF launched ENOVERATM 2000 a dough strengthened, using enzyme technology, equivalent to traditional emulsifiers. It provides superior finish and have reduced 50% vital gluten in breads.

However, according to one of the reports of 2021, 74% of the U.S. consumers prefers natural and non-GMO products, and around 70% of them are concerned about the use of synthetic ingredients in food products, due to this many market players are developing clean-labelled bread emulsifiers. For instance, in September 2022, Kerry lunched Puremul an emulsifier that is made from acacia, providing natural flavour, non-Gmo and minimally processed, resulting in replacing use of sunflower lecithin and mono-and diglycerides, and improving the existing supply chain and driving the market of natural, sustainable and clean-labelled.
