Preservatives that are utilized to hinder oxidation measure, particularly in put away food things are called cancer prevention agents. Food things with high fat substance will in general get harmed during oxidation measure, cell reinforcements are utilized in such food things to check the oxidation interaction and essentially increment time span of usability of bundled food things. A portion of the significant cell reinforcements that are utilized as preservatives are Vitamin C, Vitamin E, carotenoids, lutein, selenium, and lycopene.Rising demand for processed food due to busy lifestyle and increasing number of women in the workforce is projected to drive growth of the preservatives market, over the forecast period (2016–2024).Stringent regulatory scenario regarding the use of preservatives considering its negative health impact is a challenge for growth of the global preservatives market.
