(Food-Beverage-News.Com, December 08, 2018 ) Egg white peptides surfaced as a rescuer to the matured global bakery and confectionery market. The industry, for a larger period of time, hasn’t been perceived as healthy food category. However, consumer perception has shifted, and the growth in global bakery and confectionary market has been catalyzed with the use of new ingredients such as but not limited to egg white peptides. Fact.MR’s research study projects the global egg white peptides market to surpass US$ 500 Mn in revenues by 2026. In terms of volume, over 43,000 of egg white peptides are likely to be traded globally by the end of the forecast period.
Food & beverage processors and manufacturers are by far the leading end users of egg white peptides – collectively, they are likely to consume slightly less than 6,000 kgs by 2018-end. Within food & beverage sector, bakery and confectionery producers accounted for 30% of the total consumption by volume. The end user segment is also poised to register impressive CAGR of 12.1% between 2018 and 2026.
Functional foods including sport foods, sauces, and condiments are other key end user segments for egg white peptides. Collectively, these end use industries are estimated to generate an incremental value opportunity of US$ 150 Mn between 2018 and 2026 for industry stakeholders.
Egg White Proteins – A Precursor for Production of Bioactive Peptides
Maintaining cardiovascular health is an imperative challenge faced by consumers worldwide, which is gaining greater emphasis on account of pandemics such as diabetes and obesity. Egg white proteins are deemed as potential precursors for bioactive peptide production. Various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities, have been illustrated by egg white protein-derived bioactive peptides.
Egg white proteins have further been linked with physiological benefits by in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion, in light of the multifunctional peptides released. Natural product-based, egg white protein-derived bioactive peptides are being developed by manufacturers, which demonstrate promising effects on vascular health maintenance in animal studies and in vitro experiments.
Leading producers of egg white peptides are focused toward securing regulatory health claims. Key market participants are employing new approaches for maintaining vascular health by integrating medical care, specialized nutrition, and early diagnostics, in a bid to offer more effective products that promise improved life quality for consumers.
Emphasis of Medical Research on Peptides to Augur Well for Egg White Peptides Development
All types of peptides illustrate the attribute of mimicking behavior of natural ligands – substances that interact with receptors/enzymes/cells for aiding biological processes, and egg white peptides are no exception. Egg white peptides have been perceived to show insulin sensitizing and mimetic effects in the 3T3-F442A pre-adipocytes. Additionally, several studies demonstrate the budding of bioactive peptides derived from egg white ovotransferrin in managing inflammation, hypertension, and oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro.
These attributes have further enabled drugs derived from peptides in targeting diseases with more precision and fewer side effects compared to small-molecule drugs. Peptides are becoming the future of medical research and drug development in light of their selectiveness, higher potency, and more safety. This will further rub off on the development and demand for egg white peptides in the forthcoming years.
According to the report, consumption of both types of egg white peptide, viz. di- and tri-peptides, is almost equal in current market condition, nearing around 44,000 kgs collectively. “Owing to its properties, the demand for Tri-peptides is growing rapidly and by the end of forecast period it is estimated that Tri-peptides will account for half of the total egg white peptide consumption by the end of 2026”, said Senior Analyst at Fact.MR.
The global market for egg white peptides is predominantly consolidated, with likes of Kewpie occupying the larger curve of pie, followed by Newtricious and Merck KgaA. Other prominent players participating in the market include Deb-el Food, Herbal Innovation, and Maypro Industries.
