A substantial challenge that is faced by market participants in the hexane-free protein market is the limited awareness in public about the adverse properties of hexane on the human body. Hexane solvent is usually used in the abstraction of proteins from plant materials and is related to numerous health risks, thus far these risks are not extensively recognized or well-understood by the overall population. This lack of awareness may hamper the demand for the hexane-free protein market, as consumers might not completely see the benefits of choosing products free from hexane remains. Moreover, the capability to conduct detailed and correct testing for hexane rests in plant-based proteins is restricted, further this hindering market development. The demand for hexane-free protein is similarly constrained by the occurrence of allergies to specific food products, which boundaries the customer base and provides an additional obstacle. Overcoming these informational breaks and increasing testing methodologies might be critical in disabling these barriers and stimulating market growth.
