Future Prospects of Global Laboratory Proficiency Testing Market

Shortening is a fat-based product that can be manufactured from either animal or vegetable fat. Because of the benefits afforded by vegetable oil, such as the high prevalence of antioxidants, the plant-based shortening market is likely to acquire substantial traction during the forecast period. Vegetable oils including soybean oil, palm oil, and rapeseed oil are used to make plant-based shortening.
The bread
and confectionery industries typically employ shortening. Higher per capita
food consumption in the Asia Pacific region has led in increased consumption of
overall bakery and confectionery items in the region, owing to the region's
growing population. According to an analysis of bakery and breakfast cereal
products published by the Agricultural and Agri-food Department of Canada
(AAFC) in August 2016, Asia Pacific accounted for a significant share of the
global bakery products market in 2015, with retail sales of bakery products totaling
US$ 86,836.7 million.
Changing
eating patterns, the adoption of convenient food alternatives, the development
of a contemporary retail and food service industry, and the easy availability
of raw materials are all projected to propel the Asia Pacific shortenings
market forward over the forecast period.
Shortenings Market |
The main raw
material used in the production of shortening is fat sourced from animals or
plants. It also contains trans-fats, which are hazardous because their
excessive consumption can contribute to heart disease. Trans-fats are generated
in food products by the process of hydrogenation of vegetable oil, which is a
regularly used procedure to make shortenings, according to a May 2018 article
published by the US Food and Drug Administration FDA on trans-fats. According
to the same source, trans-fat consumption raises blood levels of low-density
lipoproteins cholesterol, also known as bad cholesterol, because high levels of
LDL cholesterol raise the risk of heart disease, which can lead to mortality.
