Based on shell material, the global food encapsulation market segmented into Polysaccharides, Lipids, Emulsifiers, and Others. The polysaccharides segment has dominated the market owing to polysaccharides are intoxicants, biodegradable, biocompatible. Among lipids and emulsifiers, polysaccharides widely used in food as a spray drying method is most feasible, economical, and flexibly used for the encapsulation of food. Most of the encapsulated food is prepared by spray-chilling, spray-dried, freeze-drying to maintain the taste and aroma of the food.
Based on the technology, the global food encapsulation market bifurcated into physical and chemical. The physical technology segment has bolstered the market share for the global food encapsulation market. The physical methods are cost-effective than chemical technology used for food encapsulation. As chemical processes will rise in the value of the food therefore physical technology is used to enhance the flavor, sustain the stability reaches the end-users, and continuous improvement in the process will improve the food encapsulation.
Based on the core phase, the global food encapsulation market segmented into Vitamins, Flavors & Essences, and Others. The vitamin segment has captured the market value of the worldwide food encapsulation market. It is owing to the abilities of vitamins that prevent and cure the food of various diseases such as high cholesterol, heart attack, skin problems, eye problem. Moreover, vitamins added to according to the size of the particles are useful in the success of vitamin enrichment.
Based on the Application, the global food encapsulation classified into functional Food, Bakery Food, Dairy Foods, and Convenient Food. The dairy food market segment expected to fuel the market share of the global food encapsulation market. Due to, minerals, enzymes, vitamins are the major constituents that are required to keep the freshness, the taste of the dairy food. With the emerging working population, millennials, are increasing the market share of the dairy food for their daily intake of the dairy product. Thus, dairy food is required to have food encapsulation, and this industry is emerging in the forecast period as well.
