Leavening agents play a vital role in bakery industries; thus, the growing popularity of baked goods would have a positive influence on the adoption of various bakery ingredients, including leavening agents across the market. Leavening agents, leaveners, or raising agents are substances responsible for the structure and texture of the baked goods through gas expansion, thus maintaining the fluffiness and volume of the end product. Apart from this, leaveners are also accountable for pH control, flavor, and crumb color development. Leaveners are widely available in three forms such as physical, chemical, and biological agents, and thus, commonly used in the food industry. The sensory properties attributed to the end product by leaveners depend on the time, rate, and content of gas in the mixture. Moreover, several factors like increased westernization and migration and changes in preferences of taste and varieties are the critical macro factors contributing to a steady spike in the leavening agents market.
