What Emerging Trends Are Influencing The Growth Of The Meat-Based Flavors Market?
Key players in the meat-flavored market are embracing cutting-edge food technologies to develop alternatives to meat derived from plants, in response to increasing consumer demand for healthier, ecologically-friendly food choices. Foods that are created from plants to emulate the taste, texture, and appearance of conventional meat are called plant-based meat alternatives. For instance, in March 2023, the Kerry Group plc, a taste solution firm for food and beverage based out of Ireland, debuted its innovative taste technology, SucculencePB, for plant-based meat replacements. This technology amends the ubiquitous problem of "dry mouth" by enhancing the flavor and moisture of plant-based meats. It also boosts nutritional content by lowering fat by as much as 74%, reducing saturated fat by 97%, and cutting down calories by 69%. This patent-pending technology offers plant-based sausage and burger manufacturers a vegan-friendly solution for retaining moisture and taste, while simultaneously significantly enhancing the taste and nutritional value of their products, in line with consumer expectations.
