The charcoal-infused food trend that started back in the historical analysis period, has now taken over restaurant owners, foodies, and Instagram users, by storm. Vegetable carbon is typically used in the food and beverage industry, specifically in confectionaries that require deep black color in desserts, ices, and confectionery.
Extended applications of vegetable carbon constitute cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and shading agents. In countries like New Zealand, Canada, and Australia, plant-based vegetable carbon is permitted for use in the food industry.
The product gained approval as a food additive in the EU in March 2018, post which the food additive manufacturers have come into a favorable position. These manufacturers started to ramp up their production facilities to release plant-based carbon black in the market.
Vegetable carbon is a trendsetting food fad. Adding vegetable carbon infuses the dish with a unique character in terms of texture, color, and flavor. Thus, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Gen Y, in particular, is roused by such cool and innovative food preparations. Seizing the opportunity, restaurants, cafes, and chefs are continuously experimenting with the product to introduce new food items on the menu.
In emerging markets like India, the trend is relatively new, and it is gradually growing among consumers in India. Since vegetable carbon is an acquired taste, the downstream industries must take into account not everyone may like the taste at once. However, by introducing a limited availability period for charcoal-infused food items, businesses can create buzz around the product and profit from the increased demand.
Vegetable carbon gives a good look to food items. Nevertheless, there are certain factors that the end users should be mindful about. Even though vegetable carbon is safe for consumption, it should be consumed in a prescribed quantity or as per the recipe’s requirement.
If a person is on any medication, consuming vegetable carbon can neutralize the effects of the medication. Additionally, the food additive is a good absorber and may absorb minerals and nutrients present in the food itself. Using a limited quantity of the substance could go a long way in preserving the clients of this product.
