Starter cultures contain microorganism in either activated or deactivated mode in liquid, dried or frozen form to initiate fermentation process. They are useful for the metabolic activity and enhance physical and chemical properties of the product under fermentation processes. Starter culture is key component in fermentation where alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage are made. Fermentation process is the most common cost-effective and famous method for food processing and preservation, which is useful to meet the increase in demand for packaged food and beverage products. It also plays an important role in dairy, baking and cheese manufacturing industries.
Asia-Pacific Biotech Flavours Market was worth USD 0.15 billion in 2018 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 7.42%, to reach USD 0.21 billion by 2023.
Starter cultures are applied during the different stages of the manufacturing procedure to get the precise quality of fermentation in the beverages. The different forms of starter cultures are used as an important component for increasing flavour, colour and texture, in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
