Our Process
Beverage consulting is a structured and highly technical process that integrates product vision, formulation science, processing constraints, and consumer expectations. A beverage consultant ensures consistency between pilot trials and commercial manufacturing.
1. Research and Conceptualisation
The process of consultancy on the beverage starts with defining the purpose of the product, category positioning, and the intended consumer. A beverage industry expert considers the trends in the market, novel ingredients, and competitive loopholes in order to mould a viable drink concept.
2. Define Your Beverage Idea
A drink development consultant is one who takes the idea and develops it into a technically viable product. The choice of ingredients, functional claims, sensory projection and cost target are matched at an early stage to prevent formulation challenges at the downstream.
3. Recognise Market Gaps
A beverage startup consultant comes up with white-space opportunities in densely populated beverage segments. This step is concerned with differentiation based on functionality, format, taste or brand position.
4. Regulatory Knowledge
The beverage expert makes sure that the usage, labelling and claims made on the beverages are in line with the food safety and regulatory requirements. This minimises the risks of reformulations and facilitates easy approvals.
5. Beverage Formulation Strategy
The formulation structure strikes a balance between taste, texture, stability and shelf life. Beverage consultants consider solubility, pH, thermal stability, and processing behaviour as a way of optimising the performance of the product in a real-life setting.
6. The Development of Taste, Flavour and Texture
Beverage consulting is about sensory optimisation. Sweetness balance, flavour masking, mouthfeel and aftertaste are fine-tuned to satisfy consumer expectations and functional or nutritional objectives.
7. Shelf Life, Stability and Processing
The services associated with beverage development comprise stability test, processing simulation, and shelf-life test. The tests guarantee transparency, flavour retention, sediment control and operability during use.
8. Packaging Strategy
Compatibility of packaging is evaluated to secure the quality of beverages. A beverage consultant will assess the container material, conditions of filling and storage behaviour to sustain the product stability and visual appeal.
9. Branding and Label Guidance
A beverages branding consultant will ensure that product formulation is matched with brand story, claims and on-pack. This is to make the technical characteristics of the beverage have a direct conversion to consumer value.
10. Prototype Evaluation
Pilot samples undergo taste, stability and manufacturability tests. The loops on feedback enable refinement followed by commercial production.
11. Manufacturing Setup
Beverage business consulting involves the advice of a co-packer, process parameters and scale-up preparation to prevent the inefficiencies of production.
12. Production Launch
The beverage consultant assists initial commercial manufacturing, such that the performance of the formulation is as it should be and of the expected quality.
13. Market Introduction and Continuous Support
Beverage consultants help in optimisation after a launch, cost-cutting measures and updating the formulation when the brand is broadening or increasing its portfolio.
