Dietary Fibers Market: Scope for Multidimensional Applicability While diet has become increasingly sophisticated with enhanced living standards, imbalanced diets result in numerous digestive disorders and lifestyle-induced diseases like constipation, intestinal cancer, obesity, diabetes, etc. For instance, in 2019, digestive disorders constituted almost 375,170 deaths in the Region of the Americas, according to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Therefore, functional foods like dietary fibers are in huge demand. As per Inkwood Research, the global dietary fibers market is set to register a CAGR of 8.62% in terms of revenue and 8.58% in terms of volume during the forecast period, 2023-2032.
The consumption of dietary fiber-rich food is evaluated to reduce the LDL cholesterol, increase stool bulk, enhance laxation, and decrease glycemic & insulin response. In addition, dietary fibers have facilitated the base for associating high-fiber diets with minimized risk of many chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, bowel cancer, constipation, obesity, colonic diverticulosis, etc. Therefore, dietary fibers are said to aid in disease prevention and health maintenance.
Accordingly, our blog briefly examines the relevant and ongoing multidimensional facets of dietary fibers: Dietary fibers in the Food & Beverage Industry Foods undergo different physical, thermal, enzymatic, and chemical treatments during processing that directly or indirectly impact the total fiber composition. Similarly, incorporating fiber-rich ingredients and products (dietary) can influence the sensory attributes, rheological behavior, texture, and consistency of the end products. As a result, there is an ongoing trend of finding new dietary fiber sources for utilization in the food & beverage industry.
