Rockville, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/07/2018 -- The global market has witnessed a rise in demand for natural food ingredients and colorants, which can be attributed to increasing demand by consumers for naturally-derived and safer food ingredients. Color additives reinforce the colors already present in the food and ensure uniformity of the food from season to season and batch to batch. Carotenoids are the most widely used and stable natural pigments in the food and beverages industry. Though beta-carotene and lycopene together comprise more than 70% of the carotenoid segment, lycopene and lutein are expected to witness higher demand in terms of value sales over the forecast period. Owing to the rise in demand for natural food colorants, companies and several concerned organizations have been making advances in food color production technology. For instance, in 2012, the researchers at the University of Cambridge developed new one-step technology for producing smart microcapsules using fluid droplets. This is a highly scalable and reproducible technology offering several advantages in manufacturing of natural food colors.
