“Umami Flavor Produced by Addition of Mushroom Powder a Hit”
Umami is defined as the fifth taste apart from sour, sweet, salty, and bitter. It is gaining acceptance among consumers. It is found in minimal sources such as mushrooms, cheese, seaweed, and others. The addition of mushroom powder in food products can generate an umami taste, which has led manufacturers to increase its usage in their food product offerings.
Demand for spice mixes, instant soups, ready-to-prepare meals, and other convenience food is increasing among millennial consumers as such products fit well into their lifestyles. Adding mushroom powder to these food products ensures the incorporation of an umami taste as well as makes the product more appealing to health-conscious consumers, as mushrooms are perceived as healthy and natural ingredients that contain a large number of amino acids.
Consumers across the world show a habitual preference for convenience food products to save time without compromising on nutrition. The growing intensity of on-the-go consumption coupled with the rise of health & wellness trends are changing consumer eating habits and product preferences.
Mushroom powder is full of medicinal and functional properties such as strengthening the bones and teeth, reducing the risk of cancer, and others. Additionally, mushroom powder can also be used as a taste enhancer in food products, especially for consumers who have been recommended to reduce salt content in their food.
Consumers are willing to try new colors and textures of exotic mushrooms, which is expected to drive demand during the forecast period.
“Rising Demand for Natural Cosmetics Bolstering Demand for Mushroom Powder”
Mushroom products have long been utilized as dietary supplements and food additives in the form of capsules, extracts, and powders. They have also entered into various consumer product categories such as lotions, loose powder, etc. High consumer demand for products that are viewed as healthy, organic, and environment-friendly is driving an increase in the market for cosmetics with natural and/or organic ingredients.
Several mushroom components have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities and are widely used to treat aesthetic issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven tone & texture. Manufacturers are creating a natural line of cosmetics that contain the preservative chitin, which is obtained from mushrooms and works as a natural preservative.
It is well known that a variety of mushrooms and the components they contain are beneficial for the skin and hair. This will help the development of the cosmetics industry and increase the application of different varieties of mushrooms.
Other components such as polysaccharides, proteins, phenols, and other anti-irritant and antioxidant compounds in mushrooms stimulate the skin’s natural renewal processes.
“Time-honored Ingredients & Marketing Recommendations Creating Considerable Buzz & Opportunities”
Although the mushroom market experienced rapid expansion in recent years, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers still need to work on improving the consumer knowledge and business-to-consumer marketing of mushroom powder to customers. Advertising occurs in trade magazines and at trade exhibitions, and getting the product into retail health food stores is a top priority.
A majority of mushroom product education initiatives are conducted at the naturopath or herbalist level, with business-to-business sales taking precedence over consumer-oriented promotion. The promotion of mushroom-based products to consumers by naturopaths, herbalists, and supplement shops, as well as a broader industry effort to better educate end users on the benefits and uses of mushroom-based supplements, will be crucial to further market growth.
Time-honored ingredients are those ancient ingredients that are used in accordance with tradition and are regarded highly by consumers due to ingredients’ effective health and nutritional benefits. Mushrooms were traditionally collected and cultivated in Asian countries for their health benefits. Various scientific studies over the last 20 years have also recognized the benefits of mushrooms to human health, boosting the shift to traditional ingredients and dishes.
Mushroom powder is also a traditionally used ingredient, especially in Chinese upland areas. At present, the usage of this ingredient is increasingly beneficial to manufacturers as well as consumers. Hence, the revival of time-honored ingredients is providing potential opportunities for the growth of mushroom powder manufacturers.
“Low Production of Mushrooms & Improper Storage Hindering Market Growth Prospects”
For growth, mushrooms need humidity and a comfortable temperature. The production of mushrooms has significantly decreased recently as a result of changing climatic factors such as rising temperatures and dry weather. Production of mushrooms has been greatly impacted by other factors such as contamination, not enough moisture, light, faulty spawn, etc.
Improper packaging and storage of mushrooms lead to the growth of harmful bacteria. Inadequate infrastructure for the refrigeration of fresh mushrooms is another factor that can cause spoilage. It could promote the growth of harmful bacteria that causes botulism.
As a result of improper storage and packaging, the product loses its firmness and texture. Storing fresh mushrooms in airtight packages without refrigeration can also cause browning and spoilage of the product.
