Food & Beverage

Sugar reduced sodas, juices, RTD teas and coffees, sports and energy drinks that taste like the full sugar original.

The market

Beverages carry the largest sugar load in most diets, so they are the first target of sugar taxes, front of pack labelling and reformulation pledges. Consumers want the same taste with fewer calories, and brands need drop in solutions that survive hot fill, carbonation and long ambient shelf life.

How JJD helps

We combine high intensity sweeteners with bulk and rare sugars, then tune the profile with Taste Mark™ modulation so the finished drink tastes complete. Shield™ nisin extends shelf life without synthetic preservatives.

Formulation challenges

✦Matching sucrose mouthfeel and body once sugar is removed
✦Masking bitterness or lingering aftertaste from high intensity sweeteners
✦Stability through pasteurisation, low pH and 9 to 12 month shelf life
✦Clean label preservation without sorbate or benzoate
