Butyric Acid Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2022-2028

 

Butyric acid, also known by the chemical names butanoic acid and n-Butyric acid, is a carboxylic acid found in plant oils and animal fat in esterified form. Butyric acid is a colorless liquid with a strong, lingering odor. It has a buttery flavor and is used as a flavoring agent in food manufacturing. Butyric acid is water, ether, and ethanol soluble. Because butyric acid is highly corrosive to metals and tissue, it is handled with protective eye goggles, PVC or rubber gloves, and chemical-resistant shoes. Butyric acid is typically produced for industrial applications by fermenting starch or sugar.

Butyric Acid Market is used in food flavors to provide butter-like notes, and its esters are widely used as food additives to increase fruit fragrance.

Butyric acid is produced on an industrial scale primarily through chemical synthesis. This involves the oxidation of butyraldehyde, which is obtained by oxo synthesis from propylene derived from crude oil.

Butyric acid, also known as Butyric Acid Market , is a short-chain, saturated fatty acid (SCFA) found in plant oils and animal fats, particularly butter, ghee, and raw milk. It is also produced when bacteria in the colon ferment carbohydrates like fiber.

Butyric Acid Market is a raw material used in animal feed, particularly for poultry and swine. Its distinct properties set it apart from other short-chain fatty acids. Butyric acid also stimulates the release of enzymes and stabilizes the microbiota, improving nutrient digestion efficiency and colonization resistance. As a result, growth performance has improved, especially in less-than-ideal conditions. As a result, butyric acid is a popular feed additive for young animals all over the world.

Butyric acid has been shown in animal studies to play a role in mucosal immune response and to have anti-inflammatory properties. Given its ability to influence gene expression and protein synthesis, it is also known to have a direct impact on mucosal cell proliferation, maturation, and differentiation.
