As enzymes are naturally present in ingredients used to make food, earlier, their safety and toxicity were not of much concern. However, the advent of large-scale production of food enzymes through strains of genetically modified microorganisms has led to increased scrutiny on the use of enzymes in Europe’s food & beverage industry. In the past, the regulation of enzymes used as processing aids was not carried out at the EU level. Of the member states, only Denmark and France evaluated these processing aids before their use in the food & beverage industry. This inconsistency in the assessment criteria of food enzymes among nations prompted the framing of a new EU legislation.

Restraints: Stringent government regulations for the use of starter cultures in processed meat products

Stringent regulations have proved to be a major hindrance stifling the market for starter cultures. Some of the global organizations involved in providing regulatory norms include the World Trade Organization (WTO), European Food and Feed Cultures Association (EFFCA), and other regulatory bodies. The regulations for starter cultures as listed by the different organizations include the following:

World Trade Organization

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has laid down stringent rules and regulations for the import and export of living microbes. The manufacturer has to obtain an environment clearance certificate, quality certificate, and some other related certifications before manufacturing microorganisms at the industrial level. Since the starter culture industry involves high risk with respect to the health and environment, it would not be easy for new manufacturers to enter the starter culture market. There have been special regulatory measures present for companies to discard the culture and biological effluent after the production.

European Food Safety Authority & Qualified Presumption of Safety

The uses of bacteria must conform to the general food safety standards, such as the European General Food Law (European Parliament and the Council, 2002). The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) had announced five ‘generic’ approaches for the safety assessment of microorganisms in food with a history of safe use. This approach includes a qualified presumption of safety (QPS) in food. QPS derives basic knowledge of the microorganisms that includes its pathogenicity, taxonomy, familiarity, and application in food. The Scientific Committee of EFSA indicates that a thorough knowledge of the microorganism is sufficient for awarding the QPS status for numerous species from the groups of lactic acid bacteria and yeast.

By application, sausages segment is projected to account for the largest share in the meat starter cultures market during the forecast period

By application, the market is segmented into sausages, salami, dry-cured meat, and others (such as pepperoni and other processed meat products). The meat sausages segment, akin to most other non-processed fresh meats and meat preparations, comprises perishable food products, and most sausage manufacturers have been looking for additional safety or longer shelf life, either in terms of less spoilage or delayed oxidation. Meat starter cultures are used to provide additional safety and delay spoilage by shifting the uncontrolled fermentation that spoils the meat to a controlled fermentation by safe bacteria. Meat starter cultures ferment the sausages and preserve their flavor, texture, color, and increase their shelf-life by averting wastage.
