Phenylpropanoid dimers called lignans are made up of two phenyl propane units joined by their C8 central carbons. These compounds are widely distributed throughout plants and are typically found in the stem, bark, root, fruits, and seed sections. Sesame, flax, pumpkin, sunflower, wheat, corn, broccoli, strawberries, and peas are the main sources of lignans.

The increased use of cereal-based goods including muesli, oatmeal, raisin bran, and compressed puffed rice is the main reason driving the growth of the lignans industry. The growing use of lignans to add antioxidant and oestrogen properties to foods like energy bars, cereals, whole-grain bread, crackers, semolina pasta, vegetarian dinners, and other snack foods is the main reason fueling demand for lignans. In addition, the market for lignans is expected to have increased demand due to rising health concerns, a growing animal feed business, and a robust pharmaceutical sector.

The market for lignans is also expanding as a result of factors such as increased disposable income, technological advancements, shifting demographics and lifestyles, and several encouraging research findings. A potential obstacle to the growth of the lignans market is the lack of consumer product awareness.
