What to consider

What to consider

Sugar reduction can affect more than sweetness. Here are some of the key formulation considerations for beverages.

01 Sugar Reduction

Reduce sugar while maintaining the sweetness intensity, balance, and overall drinking experience.

02 Taste & Aftertaste

Build a clean sweetness profile that complements acidity, flavors, and functional ingredients.

03 Mouthfeel & Body

Maintain the body and mouthfeel that can be lost when sugar is reduced or removed.

04 Solubility & Clarity

Consider how sweeteners and functional ingredients dissolve and perform without unwanted sediment or haze.

05 Stability

Consider how pH, heat processing, and storage may affect sweetness and ingredient performance over shelf life.
