KEY INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
Anti-caking agents are powdered or granulated class of additives used to prevent lumping of the substance. These agents are used to ensure easier packaging, flowability and consumption. The caking of a substance depends upon its nature. Crystalline solid substances cake due to the formation of liquid bridges and fusion of microcrystals while amorphous solids lump when their viscosity changes, and due to glass transitions. Anti-caking agents often function by absorbing excess moisture or by making substance water repellent by coating its particles.
There has been substantial increase in the demand for convenience food in the last decade. The increasing inclination of consumers towards packaged and ready to cook foods like instant soups, noodles, pasta and other similar food products shall foster the market growth. Additionally, the increasing demand from agrochemical sectors for synthesizing fertilizers is likely to boost the market growth.
However, the addition of anti-caking agents can degrade the nutritional value of the food. The use of anti-caking agent can cause additional deprivation of vitamin C added to the food which shall limit the market growth.
