The global resistant
starch market is set to witness growth at a CAGR of 6.6% during
the forecast period, totaling a valuation of US$ 19.9 Bn by
2032. Rising demand for high fiber resistant starch due to its health benefits
and increasing applications in food manufacturing industries are some of the
key factors stimulating growth in the global resistant starch market.
A good diet plan with healthy ingredients in this scenario
does not come from only desire, but the need as well. Resistant or modified
starches are perfect as a solution, being certified as non-GMO and healthier
option of clean labeled foods. Branded modified starches can offer healthier
enriched ingredients and whole grain options, while also providing same taste,
baking quality, and texture as traditional items.
While food favorites like bread, pasta, pastries, and pizza
are hard to resist and comforting, but enjoying those gluten-rich foods for
long term may lead to serious health problems including stomach discomfort.
Although there are many other gluten-free alternatives, such as nut flours and
ancient grains, the same texture and great taste combination cannot be matched
with resistant starch.
For better gastrointestinal health, eating a fiber-rich diet
is necessary, and high fiber resistant starch can contain up to 10x the dietary
fiber of traditional food items, making it a perfect product for reducing risk
of strokes, heart attacks, obesity, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes.
Reduced gluten in resistant starch has better nutritional value as well with
55-70% less allergenic gluten than traditional items and up to 10 grams of
fiber included.
