Beverage Formulation – Food Research Lab

In today’s wellness-driven world, beverages are more than just thirst-quenchers—they’re lifestyle solutions. From immunity-boosting herbal drinks to protein-packed smoothies, consumers expect every sip to deliver both taste and functional benefits. At Food Research Lab (FRL), we specialize in developing innovative, science-backed beverage products tailored for modern market demands.

Whether you’re creating a refreshing soft drink or a nutrient-rich superfood blend, we help bring your beverage ideas to life—from concept to commercialization.

Transforming Ideas Into Ready-to-Market Beverages

At FRL, we know that every successful beverage begins with a vision. We work closely with startups, food entrepreneurs, and global brands to turn that vision into a commercially viable product. Our development services cover a wide range of beverage categories, including:

• Soft drinks and cold-pressed juices
• Nutrient-enriched functional beverages
• Superfood-based powdered drinks
• Herbal, probiotic, and adaptogenic formulations

What sets us apart is our ability to customize each project based on your brand goals, target audience, and regulatory requirements.

Science Meets Flavor in Every Formulation

Great taste and health benefits can go hand in hand. Our formulation process is built on deep expertise in food science and beverage technology. We focus on achieving the perfect balance of taste, stability, nutrition, and shelf life through:

• pH control to preserve flavor and extend shelf life
• Emulsification techniques for smooth textures and clarity
• Flavor masking to improve the taste of fortified or herbal ingredients
• Fortification with vitamins, minerals, or plant-based nutrients
• Shelf-life and sensory testing under real-world conditions

From iced herbal teas to prebiotic sparkling drinks, our R&D team ensures your beverage delivers on all fronts.

Functional Beverages for the Health-Conscious Consumer

Today’s consumers seek beverages that support energy, gut health, immunity, and overall wellness. We help brands keep pace with this demand by developing beverages across high-growth functional categories:

• Plant-based protein and vegan smoothies
• Ayurvedic and botanical wellness drinks
• Probiotic and prebiotic beverages
• Vitamin-enhanced hydration and sports drinks
• Detox blends and adaptogen-infused RTDs
• Meal replacement shakes and functional tonics

Each formula is designed to be clean-label, compliant, and easy to manufacture at scale.

Ingredient Excellence = Better Beverages

High-quality ingredients are the backbone of a great beverage. At FRL, we partner with trusted global suppliers to source botanical extracts, superfoods, natural sweeteners, and emulsifiers that perform well in both function and flavor. Our ingredient capabilities include:

• Herbal actives and antioxidant-rich superfoods
• Cold-pressed fruit and vegetable concentrates
• Stevia, monk fruit, and other clean-label sweeteners
• Food-grade emulsifiers, stabilizers, and thickeners

For texture-heavy beverages like smoothies or protein shakes, we conduct rheology and viscosity tests to ensure a smooth, enjoyable mouthfeel.

From Lab to Market: Pilot Production Services

Developing a great beverage in the lab is just the first step. Our pilot-scale beverage production services help bridge the gap between R&D and full-scale manufacturing. We offer:

• RTD beverage prototyping
• Superfood drink reconstitution and testing
• Carbonation and cold-fill optimization
• Wet and dry blending for supplement powders

This ensures your product maintains its taste, consistency, and shelf life as you scale up.

Regulatory Support to Keep You Compliant

Formulating beverages with herbs, probiotics, or added nutrients means navigating complex regulatory landscapes. At FRL, we help ensure your product is market-ready with full regulatory and labeling support:

• Compliance with FSSAI (India), FDA (USA), EFSA (Europe), and GCC
• Nutritional labeling and functional claim validation
• Allergen and preservative declaration
• Microbial safety testing and export documentation

With us, your beverage won’t just taste great—it’ll meet all safety and compliance standards, too.
