The Japan food hydrocolloids market size was USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.9% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing demand for food products with long shelf life.
Hydrocolloids are a class of food ingredients, mainly polysaccharides and proteins that are blended in various food products. Hydrocolloids are gums that are mixed with food ingredients to control functional properties, such as thickening and gelling. They are also uses as water retention agents and dietary fibers. Food hydrocolloids are produced from wide range of sources such as plants, animals, synthetic, microbial, and seaweed. Hydrocolloids are used in foods either for physical functionality they or nutritional benefits.
Hydrocolloids are broadly utilized in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industries and are also used in the food & beverages industry as emulsifying agents and stabilizing agents. These ingredients are extracted and refined or semi-refined to formulate the food systems. Traditional hydrocolloids are plant-derived ingredients, such as pectin, modified starches, modified celluloses, and guar gum. Novel hydrocolloid ingredients include gums from fermentation, which includes xanthan, gellan, bacterial celluloses, curdlan, or dextran.
