Definition and Scope: Leavening agents are substances used in baking to help dough and batter rise by introducing gas bubbles into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and softer texture in the final baked goods. These agents can be chemical, biological, or mechanical in nature, with examples including yeast, baking powder, and baking soda. Leavening agents play a crucial role in the baking industry, enabling the production of various products such as bread, cakes, and pastries. The market for leavening agents is driven by the growing demand for convenience foods, the increasing popularity of home baking, and the rising consumption of baked goods globally. Market trends indicate a shift towards natural and clean label ingredients in the food industry, including leavening agents. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and are seeking products with minimal additives and preservatives. This trend has led to a rise in demand for organic and natural leavening agents such as sourdough starter and cream of tartar. In addition, the gluten-free and vegan baking trends have created opportunities for leavening agents that cater to these dietary preferences. Manufacturers are also focusing on developing innovative leavening solutions that offer improved performance and sustainability, aligning with the growing emphasis on environmental responsibility in the food industry.
