Stirred yogurt culture are ingredients used for fermentation of lactose in order to produce lactic acid. Rise in the concentration of lactic acid results in the drop of pH causing the milk to clot and forming soft gel to impart the characteristics of yogurt. Lactose fermentation also produces the flavor compounds that are characteristic of yogurt. Stirred Yogurt culture plays an important role for the fermentation of yogurt. A positive outlook can be witnessed for stirred yogurt culture market owing to the high demand of stirred yogurt. Innovations in terms of preparation, packaging, delivery, and transportation of stirred yogurt have accelerated the stirred yogurt culture market growth. Evolving consumer preferences has transformed the industry. The recent decade has witnessed the transformation of consumer preference in terms of choice, safety, quality, and affordability of food. There is a growing preference for stirred yogurts resulting in amplified demand for stirred yogurt culture.
Rapidly Evolving Food Industry Worldwide to Drive Stirred Yogurt Culture Demand
Food processing industry consistently experiences challenges in terms of maintenance and viability of starter cultures in fermented food products. Lactic acid bacteria are predominantly present in the fermented food products that add nutritional and health benefits to the product. Traditional fermentation processes meant for increasing the product shelf-life, carries the risks of contamination and lack of maintenance of microbial load. Innovations to address these issues to increase stirred yogurt culture efficiency have led to the development of microbial encapsulation methods that are being studied to maintain microbial viability in stirred yogurt. Microbial encapsulation of stirred yogurt culture can provide rapid fermentation, higher microbial load and enhanced tolerance for temperature and media toxicity over traditional stirred yogurt culture. Owing to high lucrativeness of flavored yogurt, many startups have ventured into production of flavored yogurt. As a result increased demand for stirred yogurt culture has been seen in last few years
Stringent Regulation to Negatively Impact Stirred Yogurt Culture Market
Increasing utilization of microbial stirred yogurt culture for the preservation of stirred yogurt has augmented the need for stringent regulatory framework that controls and ensures food safety. These regulatory frameworks differ among world countries, yet they all aim at regulating the safer use of stirred yogurt culture and thus, providing higher food quality. Use of microorganisms and microorganism-derived food products is regulated by FDA, which has a status for safe use known as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) in the U.S. If the microorganism or derived product for stirred yogurt culture lies in the category of GRAS, it is approved by FDA for its utilization in the manufacturing of stirred yogurt. Further, maintaining the viability of the stirred yogurt culture during different handling processes of yogurt production and protection of stirred yogurt culture from pathogen contamination remains a key challenge for stirred yogurt culture providers.
