MARKET RESTRAINTS

Although dextrose syrup is gaining popularity in the food and pharmaceutical industries, the market is likely to be restrained by a number of problems. Some of these variables include the negative consequences of ingesting too much sugar and the availability of different alternate options. Also, as health consciousness is increasing in people, they may reduce or eliminate the intake of dextrose as it is high in calories and not the best for people who live a sedentary lifestyle. Another key restriction is the rise in demand for gums as a substitute for glucose, dextrose, and maltodextrin. The rise in the attractiveness of gums like Arabic gum, xanthan gum, guar gum, and locust bean gum over products that are derived from starch like dextrose is posing a challenge for the market. Foods and beverages stabilized with gums have been found to be more stable than those stabilized with modified starches. The improving market demand of gums is likely to restrain the use of starch derivatives in the food industry. Gums provide functional benefits to food and beverages in addition to taste, texture, and stability.
