  • Emerging Vegetable Oils in Europe
    CBI Product Factsheet: Emerging vegetable oils in Europe CBI | Market Intelligence Product Factsheet Cloves in Germany | 1 Introduction The drive for innovation in the European food industry leads companies to adopt new ingredients in order to remain competitive. The introduction of new vegetable oils (emerging oils), either as ingredients or as final consumer products, is a form of innovation, differentiation and marketing used by food companies to articulate their competitive edge. On the other side of the coin, exporters of emerging oils still face a number of challenges to access the European market successfully. Whereas the Novel Food Regulation imposes marketing restrictions on a number of innovative products, some barriers to suppliers are often related to issues such as supply sufficiency and stability. At the same time, emerging oils also provide opportunities in terms of niche marketing and value adding propositions. Understanding the European market for emerging vegetable oils Innovation is high on the agenda of food manufacturers in Europe, significantly in North-Western Europe. In order to remain competitive, companies invest heavily in Research & Development (R&D), with the goal of adapting products to ever-changing consumer preferences, food health and safety requirements and introducing novelty into the food market. A large part of this strategy consists in finding new ingredient solutions. Vegetable oils are an integral part of several food products and, as such, are an interesting basis for product development. The introduction of new vegetable oils, either as ingredients or as final consumer products, is a form of innovation, differentiation and marketing used by food companies to articulate their competitive edge.

Background Found throughout southern Africa, the marula tree (sclerocary birrea) has been used by humans for thousands of years, with archeological findings placing uses as early as 9000 BC. About the size of a plum with a leathery skin that is butter yellow when ripe, the fruit of the marula tree has a scented juicy white flesh that clings to a hard brown kernel. Inside the kernel are two or three seeds that are so rich in oil that a simple squeeze of the hand can release a significant amount. The flavor of marula fruit has been compared to a cocktail of guava, lychee, apple and pineapple, and harvest traditionally takes place between February and June. Marula is not only popular with humans, but also with animals; elephants have been known to travel many kilometers just to get a taste of the fruit. 1 Rich in protein and high in vitamin C, the fruit and nuts of the marula tree have allowed people to make permanent settlements throughout southern Africa. It has also been used as the base for some of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the region for generations.
