A roundup of ingredients going off patent, and the positive and negative implications for the markets being addressed will be discussed.

Supporting Quotes
“Genericization of food ingredients may recreate the success story that pharmaceutical companies have experienced with off patent drugs. Ingredients like Algal Omega-3, sweeteners and enzymes have already or will be going off patent in the future. This will, at the same time, offer access to valuable and high quality ingredients to a wider population that can address global problems of malnutrition, sustainability and food safety”, notes Dr.Kaushik, senior research analyst for Frost & Sullivan’s Chemicals, Materials and Food group.
