(Food-Beverage-News.Com, February 16, 2019 ) Sales of bacillus coagulans have witnessed sheer proliferation in the recent past in line with rising consumer preference for probiotic diet and growing digestive disorders. The bacillus coagulans market is expected to witness sales surpassing 41 thousand tons by 2019, as per the latest research study by Fact.MR.
Interest in probiotic fortified functional foods and beverages continues to grow across countries. Exhibiting the characteristics of both lactobacillus and bacillus genera, bacillus coagulans has recently attracted the attention of food manufacturers and researchers. A large number of studies are being conducted on the low-cost microbial production of bacillus coagulans for use in the food industry.
According to Fact.MR’s report, cost-effectiveness and better stability and survival of bacillus coagulans in high-temperature, heat treated food products are the major factors fostering the adoption rate of bacillus coagulans in the food and beverages industry. Bacillus coagulans is being increasingly used in food supplements to strengthen the immune system, provide anti-allergy effect, and reduce gastrointestinal system infection.
Increasing lactose intolerance and growing allergies towards milk proteins is resulting in an increased demand for non-dairy probiotics. This is leading to a rise in production of non-dairy milk-like compositions including bacillus coagulans. Food and beverages producers are strengthening innovation backed on the recent research studies showing various benefits of bacillus coagulans.
“While bacillus coagulans may offer various benefits, there is a need for more research on side-effects and interactions of bacillus coagulans. Also, the lack of human trials and the unknown effects of long-term use of bacillus coagulans may cause serious health issues. The dosage amount of bacillus coagulans is another uncertainty due to the absence of clinical data,” says Fact.MR’s report.
Strains of bacillus are currently being employed for a therapeutic and protective effect against clinical syndromes, especially, metabolic disorders. Moreover, natural products including bacillus coagulans are emerging as a safe alternative for managing metabolic syndrome.
