What are the Key Trends in the Market for Glucose and Fructose?

“Distinguished Positioning of Products offering Increased Shelf Life in Food Products to Boost Sales for Glucose and Fructose Market”

With the view of keeping the food products appealing and fresh for longer time the producers of beverage, confectionery, and fresh baking industries are focusing on finding natural ways to keep their portfolios fresh for longer time. As artificial preservatives today fail to meet the expectations of the modern consumers, fructose sourced from natural ingredients play an essential part in the preservation process. Fructose is capable of preserving food and providing safety standards to different food products.

Fructose does not hydrolyze in the same way as sucrose and hence it helps in providing longer shelf life to many food products. Glucose is also known to bind water and with less water activity the growth of micro-organisms is hindered providing increased shelf-life to products like jam and marmalade.

• According to the Food & Health Survey 2017, more than 70% of consumers check expiry dates in the supermarket. This shows that, while consumers value other trends, shelf life is also one of the key driver of purchasing behaviour.

“Increased Application of Glucose and Fructose in Functional Food and Beverages to Drive Growth for the Market”

The rise in health conscious consumers has propelled the growth of functional food and beverages. Consumers are increasingly shifting from sugary soft drinks to healthier alternatives. Functional food and beverages are also known to have enhanced taste, flavor with nutritious properties for satisfying health-conscious consumers. Fructose and glucose are increasingly being used as an energy source for diabetes patients because it may aid glycaemic control. It is used as a flavor enhancer for functional beverages such as high fiber drinks, RTD teas, enhanced fruit drinks and soy beverages for offering sweet taste with reduced calories

Thus, the application of fructose and glucose in enhancing the flavor profile as well as offering health benefits in functional food and beverages is expected to steer growth for the market. Fructose and glucose in functional food is expected to witness 1.7X value growth in the forecasted period.

“Increased Application of Glucose and Fructose as Sweetener in Bakery Products to Propel Growth for the Market”

Fructose as a sweetener is suitable for unfermented as well as fermented bakery products and plays a vital role as direct fermentable saccharide for yeast nutrition. The application of fructose leads to shorter proof time in bakery products compared to sucrose with being used as a humectant in different products. Fructose is also known to improve texture, eating quality, and increase the shelf-life of the bakery products. As shelf life is one of the major factors of concern for the manufacturers of the bakery industry, the application of fructose for imparting taste along with limiting microbial growth is expected to boost sales for fructose.

Liquid Glucose provides texture, volume, taste, glossiness, and improved stability when added to pastries, macaroons, and cakes. It is known to be vicious and easy to dose and to blend with other ingredients in the bakery products. Fructose and glucose are affordable sweetener alternatives which makes it a considerable factor to captivate manufacturers of the bakery industry and drive growth for the market.

“Development of Artificial Sweeteners to Hamper Sales for Glucose and Fructose Market”

With the rising demand for low-calorie food items, producers are gradually conducting research to develop artificial sweeteners as substitutes for sugar, which are produced synthetically as they help maintain low blood sugar levels with being readily available. The wide applications of artificial sweeteners in processed food such as candies, jellies, and powdered drink mixes is contributing towards the increased sales of artificial sweeteners.

Saccharin, sodium benzoate, and aspartame are some of the FDA approved artificial sweeteners, which have increased application today in the food and beverage industry owing to its property of maintaining taste. Aspartame is increasingly used as table top sweetener with increased demand from manufacturers as it is quite sweeter than sugar, so less of it can be used to provide similar levels of sweetness proving to be economically beneficial for the manufacturers. Increased penetration of artificial sweeteners is expected to restrain growth for the glucose and fructose market.
