Feed
Fermented ingredients in feed products are rising in popularity owing to its beneficial functionalities. For instance, studies show that fermenting chicken feed can increase its eggshell thickness and egg weight, and boost the chickens’ immune system and intestinal health, increasing their resistance to diseases such as E. coli and Salmonella. Some of the well-known fermented feed ingredients of amino acids are ADM L-Lysine HCl, ADM Liquid L-Lysine 50%, and ADM L-Threonine.
Pharmaceuticals
The pharmaceutical industry is focusing on developing new concepts and products of specialty ingredients including fermented ingredients. Amino acids, vitamin and related compounds, and industrial enzymes are commonly used as fermented ingredients in the pharmaceutical industry.
Textile & leather
The demand for industrial enzymes such as polysaccharides are continuously increasing from the textile & leather industry. Companies from the textile and leather industry are focusing on cost-effective fermented ingredients as a semi-finished product for the manufacturing of their products. Due to the global energy crisis as well as high cost of fuels, the focus on activities to conserve energy to a maximum extent has increased. The textile industry retains a record of the lowest efficiency in energy utilization and as one of the major energy consuming industries.
The effect of busy lifestyles and evolving eating habits in the developing economies has propelled the market for processed food & beverages; hence, there is a rise in the demand for fermented ingredients. In addition, rising awareness and growing consumer capacity are expected to drive the demand for fermented ingredients in the food and feed industries. Consumers are expected to replace their consumption of industry products with fresh or healthier food products with the intention of improving their diet. This has increased the demand for food products processed with fermented ingredients. A majority of global growth in the demand for processed fermented products is expected to come from Asia, in particular from China and India.
