foods. Condiment sauces include sauces
with spices, herbs, seasonings, flavorings
and colorings. There are various types
of condiments sauces available in the
market such as barbecue sauce, soy
sauce, teriyaki sauce, mustard sauce,
chili sauce, etc. They are not only used as
cooking ingredients but also used as table
sauces for dressings and dips (Allied Market
Research, 2020).

The rising trend of consumer’s willingness to
experiment and try different cuisines from across
