Market Overview

Meat Tenderizing Agents Market is expected to reach USD 2.6 Billion by 2024 and is expected to register 4.2% CAGR during the forecast period. Meat tenderizing is a crucial step in the meat processing process and a good measure of meat quality. Tenderizing is a process that softens and reduces the hardness of meat by breaking the collagen bonds. Tenderness influences the meat's consistency by making it easier to chew. This makes the meat more appealing. Tenderness of meat is determined by factors such as fat content, connective tissue, and meat grain. Tenderness can be improved by a variety of mechanical and chemical methods, but the use of enzymes and acids is favored. Commercially, enzymes are used as meat tenderizers on a wide scale, while other acids are used on a smaller scale. Enzymes break down the collagen and muscule fibers in meat, making it more tender, smoother, and easier to eat. Two popular meat tenderizing agents are papain extracted from papaya and bromelain extracted from pineapple. Commercially, papain is preferred because it is more thermostable. Proteases are a diverse group of protein-degrading enzymes that are used to tenderize meat. Wines or vinegar are used as meat tenderizing agents as well as taste enhancers.
