Among the three prime macronutrients, i.e is fats, carbohydrate and protein fat is, present in most of the foods providing flavor, aroma and a unique texture to it. As an essential part of the diet fat has also several health benefits however, when consumed above the required amount, it may result in various health issues such as high cholesterol level, increased risk for heart diseases, high obesity and various others.
Fat replacers have facilitated the development of reduced-fat foods that possess the texture and taste of the high-fat foods with much lower calories, cholesterol, and fat content. Fat replacers chemically resemble proteins, carbohydrates, fats or a combination of these ingredients.
These combined ingredients are used to provide specific functions of the fat being replaced. Amongst the different types of fat replacers, Carbohydrate-based fat replacers such as cellulose, gums, starches, polydextrose etc. are most widely used, providing thickening and stabilizing actions on to the food products.
Many of the fat replacers are stable at cooking and frying temperatures. These fat replacers are used to replace fats in a variety of food products containing high-fat content such as bakery and confectionary items, processed meats, cheese and other dairy products, beverages and sauces, and baked goods.
Dietary advice and recommendations by several global health organizations and powerful impact of media have resulted in a growing awareness about adverse effects of excessive fat intake and benefits of healthy living. According to the World Health Organization, ‘Reducing the amount of total fat intake to less than 30% of total energy intake helps prevent unhealthy weight gain in the adult population.
Also, the risk of developing NCDs is lowered by reducing saturated fats to less than 10% of total energy intake, and trans fats to less than 1% of total energy intake, and replacing both with unsaturated fats’. Consequently, people are getting more health conscious thus modifying their eating habits and diet.
This acts as a driving factor for the growth of fat replacers market, providing consumers with low-fat and low-calorie food products without compromising with the basic attributes of their intakes. Further, the American Dietetic Association’s report reflects that majority of the fat replacers can be a safe and useful complement for lowering the fat content of food when consumed in a moderate amount by the adults.
However, fat also possesses certain sensory properties which contribute towards the texture, flavor and overall taste of the food which cannot be fully replaced by fat replacers. Thus fat replacers, might act as a restraining factor in the growth of fat replacers market, in turn challenging the manufacturers to produce products fulfilling these criteria’s as well.
