Meat extract is manufactured from meat with low fat and sinew content and can be considered as complementing the nutritive properties of peptone by contributing minerals, phosphates, energy sources, and those essential factors missing from peptone. Meat extract is the common flavoring additive for soups, stews, sauces, casseroles, canned meat items, and others where meat flavoring improves the product quality. The flavor of meat extracts makes it a desirable additive to a variety of products. The percentage of the meat extract needed for flavoring varies depending on the food to which it is being added and generally falls in the range of 5-25%.

Growth Factors

Rising consumption of protein-rich diet and health consciousness drives the global meat extract market

Meat consumption, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, is related to living standards, diet, livestock production, consumer prices, and macroeconomic uncertainty and shocks to gross domestic product (GDP). Meat has a high production cost and a high output price when compared to other commodities. Furthermore, meat demand is associated with higher incomes and a shift in food consumption opportunities due to urbanization that favors increased protein from animal sources in diets. With the global meat industry offer food and livelihood for billions of population, it has significant environmental and health consequences. This indicator is presented for beef and veal, pig, poultry, and sheep.

Stringent government decisions pinpointing food safety and trading drives the global meat extract market

Meat food products (MFPs) have been defined as any article of food that's been derived from meat through the processes of drying, curing, smoking, cooking, seasoning, and others. It should not include meat extracts, meat consommé and stock, meat sauces, and other products unless the manufacturer wishes to be covered by the provisions of the said order. The Central Government established a Meat Food Products Advisory Committee, which appointed the licensing authority and had the authority to refuse or grant a license to any applicant. Reasons were jotted down. The license was valid for 12 months. Renewal of a license was required. The Secretary of State for the Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, on the other hand, was in charge of the trade in animals and related products, as authorized by Regulation 15 (5) of the Trade in Animals and Related Products Regulation 2011. Meat extracts, meat concentrates, and any meat extract or meat concentrate component in a food that is fully compliant with EU import rules are included in the products. Furthermore, any products covered by this authorization that are fully compliant with the relevant EU import rules do not require this authorization. In fact, they must enter the EU at a Border Inspection Post where they will be subjected to veterinary checks.

Increasing demand for meat extract in food and feed biological research laboratories bolster the growth of global meat extract market

The benefits associated with its nutritional content, demand for meat extract is increasing rapidly in the food and feed industry. As the majority of people demand convenient but nutritious food products, there is a growing demand for meat extracts as end products in food. Even though meat extracts have a high nutritional value, they have a wide range of applications in the food processing industry. Meat extract is used as a flavoring agent in a variety of broths and beverages in the food industry. Furthermore, because meat extract contains unique properties such as flavor enhancers, it has a wide range of applications in food additives and processed food products. In addition, meat extract is widely used in microbiology lab testing to replace aqueous infusion of meat in microbiological culture media. Because meat extract is typically used at concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 1.0% in culture media preparation, its concentration varies depending on the nutritional requirements for medium formulations.
