Get a Customized Version“Rising Margarine Usage in Bakery Products across the World”
Margarine butter is used in numerous applications in bakery products due to its ease of spreading and scooping. It is among the top priorities for bakers when it comes to oils & fats due to its soft texture, which makes it light to whip up into buttercream frosting or the cream into sugar for making a sponge cake.
Margarine can contain animal-derived milk or water; the choice greatly depends on the end-use consumer. For vegan purposes water-based margarine is used in baking, and milk-based margarine is used for non-vegan applications.
In bakery applications, margarine is a common butter substitute that can be used as an ingredient and a spread. Like other fats, margarine is used to improve the mouthfeel and flavour of baked goods. For industrial baking applications, there are margarine varieties available such as buttercream margarine, cake margarine, croissant margarine, puff pastry margarine, and hard puff margarine. The most important functionalities offered by margarine in baked goods include texture, mouthfeel, and other sensory attributes.
“Margarine Sales Benefiting from Growing Consumption of Patisserie”
Patisserie includes both cakes and pastries, and the use of margarine in this category is driving their consumption and making them more desirable to mainstream consumers. Margarine benefits the dough layering in the manufacture of semi-finished products such as puff pastries, croissants, yeast, and yeast-free dough.
Moreover, other margarine usage benefits include a high lift of the final product, clear separation of the layers during baking, pleasant creamy flavors, better aroma of the finished products, negligible mixing of other flour, and the dough remains pliable when cooled between the rolling stages (yeast and yeast-free dough).
Furthermore, these attributes are supported by easy usage of margarine, such as before using it needs to be tempered at 16-20 degrees Celsius, with layering obtained by multiple folding and rolling processes as well as the existence of a fat layer between the dough layers, which tend to offer a good height to the finished food product.
“Increasing Vegan Population Aiding Margarine Demand Growth”
Margarine is an oil-water/milk emulsion that contains almost 80% vegetable oil, and the rest being water or milk. These days, most margarine products are completely hydrogenated in terms of processing and contain water instead of milk, as key manufacturers are targeting to offer their products that cater to a versatile consumer base.
Rising vegan population is one such consumer base that is deprived of consuming any animal-derived product.
This situation has posed a new challenge to food & beverage manufacturers to cater to this specific group of population with ideal ingredients, and margarine is one such ideal ingredient.
Bakery products that are loaded with water-based margarine are in-line with the rising need for vegan ingredients, and hence, their consumption, especially bakery ingredients, is sure to rise.
“Growing Demand for Non-GMO-based Margarine”
Non-GMO is a rising consumer trend that has been gaining traction since its inception due to several factors such as rising consumer awareness about the health complications that may arise by consuming GMO and similar products. GMOs are either plants or animals that have their DNA structure changed by scientific human intervention via a process called genetic modification or genetic engineering.
These modified organisms, when consumed, may become the leading cause of organ damage, infertility, etc. Hence, to cater to these concerns non-GMO-based products or GMO counterparts have been introduced into the market. Non-GMOs are free from toxic chemicals such as synthetic or chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, etc., free from antibiotics and growth hormones, fresher foods, better for the environment, nutrient profile is effective, and are 100% natural.
Margarine based on non-GMO raw materials such as non-GMO labeled vegetable oils is gaining traction in various end-use industries. Many manufacturers are offering non-GMO natured margarine as per this rising consumer trend. This, in turn, is helping end-use industries such as the bakery industry to cater to the demands of almost all consumers.
“Availability of Margarine Substitutes Harming Market Expansion”
When it comes to oils and fats, the market is already flooded with options that in some way or the other tend to hamper the target market growth. Margarine is a substitute for butter; likewise; other substitutes are prevailing in the margarine market.
The most widely available substitute for margarine is butter, and others on the list include lard, cocoa butter, nut butter, ricotta cheese, avocado oil, cream cheese, vegetable oil spread, olive oil spread, tofu, baby prunes unsweetened applesauce, and others.
These substitutes tend to offer almost the same properties offered by margarine across various end products, and especially is baked goods. The notion that margarine may contain up to some degree of trans-fat and its substitutes do not, is also one factor that is slowing down market growth of margarine.
