The top three revenue-generating product segments of the global food glazing agents market are discussed below:

Carnauba wax

Carnauba wax is the hardest wax among all the other waxes this is owing to the high melting point of the wax. These factors contribute to the market growth of the global carnauba wax food glazing agents market. Carnauba wax is a naturally occurring wax extracted from leaves and buds of the palm tree Copernicia cerifera. These species are grown in regions within Brazil.

According to Akash Pandey, a lead food research analyst from Technavio, “The anti-caking property of carnauba wax makes it a better food glazing agent than the rest. Carnauba wax is used as a surface polishing agent for baked goods, chewing gums, confectioneries, frosting, and fresh and processed fruits. These factors contribute to the growth of the global carnauba food glazing agents market. US-based natural wax manufacturer, Frank B. Ross offers a wide variety of FDA-approved carnauba wax glazing agents.”

Stearic acid

The global increase in consumer demands for confectioneries and bakery products and the presence of stearic acids in chocolates are steering the growth of the global stearic acid food glazing agents market. Stearic acid is a lipid-based food coating/glazing agent made from types of vegetable fats, animal fats, and other fats. Chemically, stearic acid is a long chain of fatty acids, classified as saturated fatty acids.

“Stearic acid is used as a glaze on food products, to change the melting temperature of a product, as a lubricant, to prevent oxidation, protect the food products from decay. Stearic acid food glazing agent market is suitable to be used on chocolates, as it protects it from melting. It is commonly found in cocoa butter. Dark chocolates contain high amount cocoa butter, due to which they have extremely smooth, velvety textures,” adds Akash.

Beeswax

The global beeswax food glazing agents market is driven by the high demand for candies and cheese manufacturers. Application of beeswax on candies makes them glossy and prevents them from sticking together in the packaged bag or container. Beeswax is also good flavor carrier in candies, gummies, and other sweet confectionery.

Beeswax is used as a food glazing agent on cucumbers, bell peppers, eggplants, potatoes, apples, lemon, lime, and oranges. It helps in reducing internal water loss. It also acts as a protective barrier against moisture. Mantrose-Haeuser, a US-based edible coatings manufacturer, offers powdered beeswax that is food grade and can be used as a glazing agent.

The top vendors highlighted by Technavio’s research analysts in this report are:

  • British Wax
