Every industry has observed sustainability as the newest trend, especially in the food & beverage sector, sustainability refers to the assurance and sourcing of products. Consumers have now concentrated on brands that prioritize sustainability and rewarding those who share their beliefs and ideas. Moreover, conventional dairy farming contributes to water pollution, deforestation, and greenhouse gas emissions. Conversely, the production of plant-based yogurt uses less water than that of animal agriculture, which necessitates a large quantity of land for the grazing of livestock and the cultivation of animal feed, ultimately resulting in deforestation and routine degradation. The manufacturing of plant-based yogurt involves reduced greenhouse gas emissions, efficient land use, water conservation, biodiversity preservation along with food security. The overall benefits possessed by sustainable products have attracted customers to choose plant-based products over animal-based products.
The market for plant-based yogurt has witnessed growth across the world. This is due to the increase in lactose intolerance and veganism. Individuals with lactose intolerance are prohibited from consuming dairy products and other goods derived from animals due to their health. In addition, it is expected to be used as a dairy substitute which has increased demand for plant-based yogurt. The people who are prohibited from consuming any traditional dairy products seek plant-based dairy products. Lactose digestion is difficult for those who are afflicted. The component known as lactose is a naturally occurring sugar in milk and milk products, causes a condition known as lactose intolerance in which the small intestine is unable to break down the lactose that has been taken.
The recent developments in the technology of food processing industry have possessed a lot of potential for the plant-based yogurt market. Moreover, enzymatic processing, extrusion, and fermentation are techniques that improve the usability and sensory qualities of plant-based ingredients. Plant-based components are optimized by businesses for better flavor, texture, and nutritional characteristics. As a result, yogurt products are improved in terms of appeal. Moreover, attributes such as creaminess, smoothness, and thickness of plant-based yogurt are improved by advances in homogenization, emulsification, and high-pressure processing (HPP). Plant-based proteins can also be produced using techniques such as fractionation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and solvent-free extraction. The usability, solubility, and nutritional profile of the component are improved, raising the overall standard of the yogurt product.
However, the uneven flavor and texture of plant-based yogurt are a barrier to its market progress. Almonds, soy, coconut, oats, and seeds are among the primary materials used to make plant-based foundation yogurt. Inherent properties of plant-based yogurt give the finished product a diversity of tastes and textures. Moreover, producers have problems making plant-based yogurt substitutes with the same smoothness. This happens because they lack the dairy proteins. The plant-based yogurt are more costly than yogurt made from milk. Almonds, soy, coconut, and oats are the ingredients required to manufacture plant-based yogurt, which is more expensive than the milk used to make ordinary yogurt. In addition, yogurt made from plants is manufactured on a huge scale and has high production costs. Producing yogurt from plants requires specialized equipment and techniques, which makes the process exceedingly challenging. In addition, funding for R&D is required for the production of plant-based yogurt. Plant-based yogurt is more expensive in comparison to dairy yogurts, which are more sensitive to scarcity and high costs due to supply and demand dynamics.
