Cross-category drink development

Balancing acidic and basic pH

BACKGROUND

With growing consumer interest and demand for healthier drinks, the CORE recognized an opportunity to develop cross-category beverage solutions combining fruit and milk, delivering the goodness of both worlds. The aim was to develop two new product solutions for the dairy industry that would compete in the overall consumer ‘share of throat’ for soft drink categories: fruity compounds for ready-to-drink milk beverages and fruity syrup for on-the-spot mix.

challenge

The challenge consisted of delivering stable and tasty solutions by balancing fruit's acidic pH with milk's basic pH in order to achieve good homogeneity and stability without sediments. This would deliver a delicious and indulgent drink with a light and refreshing mouthfeel.

solution

Ultimately, the CORE team developed two solutions for the milk category.

Fruity compounds for ready-to-drink milk beverages contain 20-40% fruit content with good homogeneity, stability, and no sediments. A refreshing way to consume milk!
Sample flavors: strawberry, mandarin, forest fruits, tropical, banana, pineapple, orange-passion fruit, mango, lime, and cherry

Fruity syrups for on-the-spot mixes enriched with vitamin D. A tasty and convenient solution to add flavor to milk! Sample flavors: peach, strawberry, and banana
