The use of jams, jellies, and preserves is increasing in salads, cookies, sandwiches, and smoothies as customers are willing to expand their taste palate. With an increase in health consciousness among consumers, vendors are focusing on products that are both indulgent, have high fruit content, and/or are sugar-free. So, the consumers are slowly shifting to fruit spreads, which are sugar-free, from the traditional jams and jellies that have added sugar.

Enzymes are complex proteins that help accelerate reactions and catalyze biochemical reactions. They increase the reaction rates by lowering the activation energy of the reactants. Small quantities of enzymes are enough to increase the reaction rates up to a million times on account of their specific mode of action. Most of the enzymes are found to function in a narrow set of conditions related to factors such as acidity and temperature. About 2,500 enzymes have been identified that aid more than 3,000 biochemical processes, including assisting metabolism and other vital processes, in humans. Enzymes are primarily classified on the type of reaction they are involved in and the substrate they act upon. Enzymes are commercially obtained from microorganisms, plant, and animal tissues. They are classified as digestive enzymes, food enzymes, and metabolic enzymes on the basis of their function. Food enzymes are enzymes that are used in the food industry. Based on the type, food enzymes are categorized into carbohydrases, proteases, lipases, and others based on the substrate acted upon. They are used in confectioneries, bakery products, beverages, dairy products, convenience foods, and meat and poultry products.

Yeast is a crucial element in the production of bioethanol. The increasing demand for bioethanol, which can be used as a renewable fuel source, is expected to increase the demand for yeast. Many countries are now increasingly preferring bioethanol to fuel their public transportation systems.Increasing demand for processed food, such as bakery items, and the growth of brewery industry is bound to propel the growth of the global yeast market during the forecast period. The global wine market and the global bakery market is expected to register moderate growth during the forecast period, fueling the demand for yeast.The stringent government regulations and guidelines from regulatory authorities,such as the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is expected to hamper the growth of the market.In this Technavio report, we have covered the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global yeast market for 2016-2020.

The demand for flavored milk is expected to increase during the forecast period mainly due to the fact that flavored milk is increasingly being preferred as a drink to be consumed after workout sessions. Researches have shown that chocolate milk contains the perfect ratio of carbohydrate to protein to hasten the recovery after an intense workout. Some of the famous sports personalities such as Mo Farah prefer chocolate milk after races and intense training sessions. The US Olympic swimming team also prefers chocolate milk after training sessions. There are other factors that will drive the growth of the market such as increasing investments by players, increasing milk production, and increasing mergers and acquisitions in the market.
