According to statistics, at present authoritative department world food additive total market sales are about 160 million us dollars, including USA, Europe, Japan and other developed countries share of the market share of global three-quarters of above, and including China developing countries of market share insufficient quarter, it is fully illustrated with industrial food oriented economy technology- developed countries use of food additives to the amount of far more than economic and- technological underdeveloped countries. As food industrial development and the improvement of human for material requirements, food additive development still has great space, the following several years international food additive sales total annual growth of about keeping in 2.5-4%, including thickener, antiseptic, sweet, sour agent, colorants, nutritional fortifiers (vitamins, amino- acids) categories will remain stable growth.
Food additives in the following development trend:
One is due to the security problem of additive has become the important factors, choice food safety avirulent or basic non-toxic natural food additive by more and more consumers. Because more than a synthetic additive caused by poisoning incidents, make the food consumers for the synthesis of additives with rejection attitude. Although all countries government agencies and academic circle on the current food additive varieties are strictly and meticulous toxicological study and evaluation, established corresponding regulations and detailed use standard, to ensure that consumers' food safety, but for the good of their health concerns, consumers more upholds natural plants and animals as raw materials, processed to obtain the natural food additive. The natural pigment, spices, such as antioxidant become the focus of research and development. Even synthesis food additives, also toward safety non-toxic direction.
2 it is low in calories, low absorption variety has large market advantage. Today's world caused by obesity physiological function obstacle by more and more people, according to statistics, WH0 twentieth century in the early 1980s, the global 3,000 million people with diabetes, ten years later, global diabetes patients have more than 1 billion. Therefore, high sweetness, low in calories and fat substitute sweetener more marketable, sweet chrysanthemum sugar RA (stevia), o Sparta sweet (Aspartame), o force sweet (A1 "ame), sucralose (Suclralose), Ann and honey (Acesulfame Potassium), sugar alcohols substances such as big, quantity of heat low sweetness, avirulent safe sweetener and sucrose fatty acid esters (poly 01estra) dehydroacetate, polyester and lipid products emerged, and the market has a good prospect.
3 it is to have specific health functions of food additives varieties is developing rapidly. Relatively typical are: can be intestinal colon bacillus utilization, promote the colon bacillus proliferation of oligosaccharides products; Quantity of heat low: do not stimulate insulin secretion, can alleviate diabetes sugar alcohols products; Plays to protect cells, transfer metabolic material action phospholipids products; To catch the collective inside of free radicals anti-free radical material, etc.
The fourth is consumption, effect obvious after matches product market potential is tremendous. In recent years, blends with product development and application has been industry hotspot. Be more concerned with complex matches sweetener, thickener, etc.
