This demand impacts all beverage product development and specifically blurs lines between functional beverage categories.
At booth C3-102 (Hall C3), ADM experts will demonstrate how the company is leveraging its robust research and development capabilities and full pantry of ingredients and technologies to provide turnkey beverage systems to meet the needs of consumers globally.
Key areas of innovation include
Lifestyle and Functionality at the Forefront: Many consumers find increased value in adding functional beverages to daily routines to meet a range of wellness goals – such as hydration and energy support, mental and emotional wellness, gut health and weight management.
ADM will showcase carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), hydration beverages and innovative instant solutions featuring quality flavours and colours derived from natural sources, cutting-edge pre-, pro- and postbiotics and botanical extracts, all with sweeteners for sought-after sugar reduction and delectable taste profiles for convenience and adherence.
Hops Take the Spotlight: The refreshing bitterness and unique properties of hops are leading to new product development across both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
From low- and no-ABV beer to session IPA on draft, natural bittering and more, ADM will highlight the multitude of possibilities hops present, with a specific spotlight on ADM’s expanded portfolio following the acquisition of TNS (Totally Natural Solutions).
Sensory Sensations with Sweeteners, Flavours, Colours: Consumers seek both familiar and adventurous sensory experiences, depending on the occasion.
To address these varying taste preferences, ADM’s expert formulators will demonstrate how they bring together its sophisticated flavour modulation technology, TasteSpark and authentic flavour solutions – including versatile citrus profiles – alongside high-quality sweetening solutions in tantalising functional beverages, lifestyle drinks, energy drinks, juiced drinks and RTD cocktails.
ADM’s Colours from Nature portfolio will also be on full display, providing stable, eye-catching, clean-label alternatives to artificial colours.
Elevated Food Service Solutions: When grabbing a drink out of the home, consumers’ flavour expectations skyrocket.
Supported by new proprietary flavour formulations through the acquisition of FDL, ADM will show how quality flavour syrups and sauces can make all the difference for consumers sipping on their coffee or frappés.
And more…
ADM will also present on designing functional beverages that put the consumer at the “centre.”
