Innovations and Trends Influencing the Ingredients Market
Many companies in the ingredients sector are prioritizing the development of clean-label products to align with consumers' growing demand for healthier, simpler ingredient profiles. Clean-label items are characterized by recognizable, minimally processed components without artificial additives, preservatives, colors, or flavors. For example, in June 2023, Israel-based CarobWay, Ltd. introduced a low glycemic sweetener. This product is clean-label, vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO, made entirely from whole carob fruit. It offers a mild caramel-like taste and serves as a one-to-one sugar substitute in various food and beverage formulations. The sweetener includes a mix of sugars, polyol D-pinitol, trace soluble fibers, and polyphenols, making it suitable for clean-label applications and supporting the move toward healthier, natural ingredients.
