Technological Advancements Boost Asia Pacific Fermented Flavor and Fragrance Ingredients Market
Traditional and biomass fermentation are traditional methods used for fermentation for ages. However, precision fermentation is considered an advanced type of fermentation used to produce flavors and fragrances. The process of precision fermentation includes a microbial host that is used to obtain a target ingredient, i.e., flavors and fragrances. This is done by genetic modifications affecting the host's DNA by introducing foreign DNA. Bacteria, algae, yeast, and mold are used as a host in precision fermentation. This advanced fermentation technology requires intensive R&D, from the genetic altering and optimization of the host to feedstock selection and preparation and downstream process design, which will result in high standards of the final ingredient. This fermentation technique is more sustainable. Thus, with a growing world population to feed, severe climate changes, and the reduction of fertile lands to grow food, the demand for more efficient, sustainable, and arable land-free technologies that produce food ingredients is required. Thus, the increasing need for technologies with a lower environmental footprint is expected to boost the fermented flavor and fragrance ingredients market growth during the forecast period.
The key market players use precision fermentation technology to launch natural flavors and fragrances. For instance, Insempra recently launched a violet and raspberry fragrance developed through precision fermentation. Thus, the advancement in fermentation technology such as precision fermentation, is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the fermented flavor and fragrance ingredients market during the forecast period.
