Formulation is the core phase of beverage R&D, where your concept becomes a real, scalable product. Here’s a detailed breakdown of beverage formulation, including technical elements, processes, and considerations tailored especially for functional or energy drinks.

-
Create a stable, scalable recipe that meets taste, texture, nutrition, and shelf-life requirements
-
Balance function (e.g., energy, hydration, immunity) with flavor and consumer appeal
-
Ensure compliance with legal, safety, and nutritional standards
