“Expansion of Clean-Label and High-Purity Lactase for Dairy-Free and Digestive Health Solutions”
- A major evolving trend in the global lactase in food and beverage application market is the growing demand for clean-label, high-purity lactase enzymes that cater to the increasing consumer preference for dairy-free, digestive health, and lactose-free food and beverage products
- For instance, companies such as DSM and Novozymes are introducing highly purified, non-GMO lactase enzymes designed for improved efficiency, minimal allergen risk, and clean-label formulations, addressing health-conscious consumer needs
- Advancements in biotechnology and enzyme purification are enabling the development of lactase products that offer superior stability, enhanced activity across a broad pH range, and compatibility with various dairy and non-dairy applications
- The rise of plant-based diets and the growing incidence of lactose intolerance globally are accelerating the adoption of lactase enzymes in dairy alternatives, protein supplements, and functional beverages
- Leading players are also exploring sustainable production methods and enzyme formulations free from chemical additives, aligning with environmental and health trends
- This trend is reshaping product development across the food and beverage sector, positioning high-performance lactase as a vital ingredient for both functional health products and clean-label dairy alternatives
