According to National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), consumption of beef extract such as hydrolysed-powder beef protein enhances physical endurance. In addition, the surging demand for convenience and ready-to-eat and cook products has influenced the manufacturers to utilize beef extracts in the food products.

The beef extract is also widely used in animal feed industry due to its strong peroxide forming capabilities and providing an excellent protein source.
