Beverages

Beverages constitute one of the most dynamic and innovative markets on earth; they are the playground of the food industry and clearly reflect the effects of globalization. Markets can now be found beyond our borders and by looking at niches outside the mainstream.

An hour-glass effect is developing in the markets in general: the bottom half of the hour glass is full of mass-marketed products; with a narrowing selection of products in the middle, and a wide premium market on the top.

Our product range caters to the non-alcoholic, alcoholic,and dry beverages segments, and offers a combination of functionalities and solutions to produce innovative products for today, tomorrow, and beyond.

• Natural food colours are dyes obtained from vegetable, animal, or mineral sources, that are capable of colouring food, such as seeds, fruits & vegetables, leaves, algae and insects. Depending on the application, a suitable natural food color can be achieved by keeping in mind important factors including pH, processing temperature, light, storage and other affecting elements.
• Tailored flavours along with a wide variety of standard flavours allow us to develop innovative product solutions in close cooperation with our clients. Our flavour concepts translate consumer needs and market insights into custom-made and forward-looking products.
• By selecting products from our comprehensive portfolio of liquid and dry sweeteners, customers from across the food industry are able to develop the functionality and taste of their consumer products. Liquid sweeteners vary according to differing levels of dry solids content, dextrose equivalent (DE), and sugar composition (fructose, maltose, higher sugar content), enabling us to offer a wide range of flavours, structures and textures. Functionalities include energy source, sweetness and flavour boosting capabilities; they can in addition also help control freezing/boiling points, viscosity, hydration and moisture levels as well as osmotic pressure. Dry Sweeteners, widely used in food applications, include dried glucose/corn syrup, maltodextrins, crystalline dextrose, crystalline fructose and polydextrose; these highly functional ingredients deliver sweetness, texture, flavour, and can add nutritional value and fibre, or remove carbohydrates and fat. Dry Sweeteners help products ferment and liquids to crystallize and are able to control viscosity, hydration and moisture levels, as well as regulate humectancy and osmotic pressure.
• Non Nutritive Sweeteners are low/no-calorie, high intensity sweeteners, that taste like sugar but offer additional benefits in terms of health claims, and retain process stability at high temperatures.
• Highly functional ingredients (acidulants, prebiotic fibres, vitamins & minerals) help customers achieve their individual goals by helping manufacturers add more fibre to beverages with no impact on taste or texture (in case of Prebiotic Fibres). Vitamins and minerals are widely used today to fortify a large variety of beverages.
• Enzymes are natures very own high-performance alternatives to chemicals and additives used in the brewing industry
