Keeping that in mind, we can formulate the products in the form of ready-to-drink, ready-to-mix, and ready-to-serve beverage products. We use ingredients that offer an added value to the development and improve its indulgence and sustainability in terms of its functional ingredients, plant-based food dyes, and natural preservatives with a clean label
Having a well-designed program backed by flawless data is essential for maintaining control over your product’s quality from start to end. We perform quality assurance testing through our full-service laboratory, The Food Research Lab, to assist you in verifying that your beverage’s consistent quality is an advantage to your business. Microbiology analysis, nutritional analysis, and diverse food chemistry analyses are some of the services we provide to our clients.
We deliver products for sensory and master data records of product, process and packaging information. This includes raw material specifications (type/subtype), metal testing, nutritional analysis, physical/chemical data, kosher/Halal information, GMO Status, microbiological status, supplier information, vendor ingredient line declarations, vendor warrants and guarantees, cost data, certificate analysis of requirement, regulatory data, test methods, allergen data, shipping and handling info, safety document (MSDS or SDS), proprietary info, sensory and quality information.
We have a list of vendors who can supply us with the product required for an R&D. All our vendors have been scrutinised based on the stringent quality criteria in terms of certificates they hold and the experience they have in the product line. We ensure 99% consistency in all the ingredients and will share the final list of ingredients and the vendor lists as part of our SOP. We consider more than one supplier of the same product to test quality and cost-effectiveness. If more than one supplier is used, tight product specifications will be followed. However, all ingredients will undergo basic testing before it moves to the product development phase.
We have an in-house dedicated multidisciplinary team with expertise in food science, consumer and sensory science research, microbiology, ingredient development, biochemistry, culinary arts, regulatory, and manufacturing design. As such, we can deliver a high-calibre product with the expertise of emerging and cutting-edge technologies (e.g. technologies in food preservation – High Hydrostatic pressure methodology HHP, dielectric heating, pulsed light, bacteriocins; extractive emerging technologies: ultrasound-assisted extraction, ohmic heating, high pressure, supercritical fluid extraction and microwave-assisted extraction) and suitable facilities to conduct scientific and technical tests. Our experts are very facile around new food product development with vast categories of product lines.
We follow quality measures to ensure the products are safe from both the supplier and the buyer’s perspectives. We carry out Marker Chemistry (e.g., HPLC, GC etc.), Microbiology tests (e.g., Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Escherichia Coli), heavy metal analysis (e.g., lead, arsenic, cadmium kept below the regulatory limits), Contamination (e.g., metal flakes from machinery), physical characteristics (e.g., powders for tablets must have low moisture content) and stability (e.g., the time for a product from initial production). We use compendium methods (USP and European) for an extensive validation process.
We collaborate with beverage makers worldwide to identify the best and most cost-effective solutions for your beverage production.
