Meat products are prone to oxidative reactions that can lead to rancidity, color changes, and off-flavors. Preservatives, including antioxidants, play a vital role in controlling oxidation, preserving the color and flavor of meats, and ensuring that they remain palatable throughout their shelf life. The high protein content of meat makes it susceptible to microbial growth, which can result in spoilage and pose health risks. Preservatives such as nitrates and nitrites are commonly used to inhibit bacterial growth and enhance the safety of processed meats.
Additionally, the surge in demand for convenience foods aligns seamlessly with applying preservatives. As consumers seek quick and accessible meal solutions amid busy lifestyles, preserving flavor, texture, and nutritional value becomes paramount. Preservatives enable the creation of an extensive array of ready-to-eat products, from microwaveable dinners to pre-packaged snacks, offering consumers the convenience they crave without compromising safety and taste.
Europe has witnessed a steady increase in meat and poultry consumption. The demand for meat products, including beef, pork, poultry, and processed meats, has increased due to population growth, urbanization, and changing dietary preferences. Preservatives contribute to these efforts by preventing spoilage and maintaining freshness. As per the Government of the United Kingdom, the total value of meat in 2021 increased by 5.9% to £9.1bn. The value of beef and veal production increased by 10% to £3.3bn in 2021, following an increase of 8.3% in 2020. Therefore, rising meat and poultry production in Europe will boost the demand for these in the region.
