Microbial Protein market Driver

• Spirulina protein gaining traction

Increasing consumer awareness of algal proteins, such as spirulina, which is high in minerals and antioxidants and provides numerous health advantages, is increasing demand for microbial proteins. Furthermore, in terms of protein amount, amino acid purity, and nutritional acceptability, algal proteins have a high nutritional value. Their functional features, such as gelation, water and fat absorption capacity, emulsification capacity, and foaming capacity, qualify them for a variety of novel applications.

Microbial Protein market Opportunity

• Rising emphasis on mycoproteins

Mycoprotein is a great source of fiber, having approximately six grams of fiber per 100 grams, which is up to 24% of the fiber that a consumer requires for the entire day. Mycoprotein has also gained advantageous properties, propelling its use in a variety of food and allied industries. Its low-energy, low-fat, and high-fiber profile makes it an excellent source of nutritious protein. Emerging data also suggests that mycoprotein consumption has broader benefits, such as potential satiety as well as metabolic and muscle benefits. Manufacturers and product formulators are attempting to enter the market with their novel products and ingredient offerings, catering to the expanding customer demand.
