Key Factors Shaping the Malt Ingredients Market
-
Growing Consumer Awareness and High Nutritive Value of Diastatic Malt Extract
Increasing consumers awareness about health benefits associated with malt ingredients has been influencing their application in various food products, especially bakery products. Diastatic malt, which is an extract from sprouted grains, can be used as a replacement for honey and sugar needed to feed yeast in bakery products. It also helps reduce the need for extra synthetic sugar in bakery food products and label the product as ‘sugar-free’.
As diastatic malt extract contains enzymes and vitamins, it improves nutritional value and helps increase shelf-life of baked products. Such benefits have led to high demand for malt ingredients-based food products from the F&B industry.
