Protein Water Recipe Formulation

Protein Water Recipe Formulation is a specialised beverage development service specialising in the development of clear, stable, high-protein water beverages that have good taste and are linked with the shelf life. In comparison to the traditional protein drinks, the protein water needs complex production methods in order to provide proper protein solubility, transparency and stability over durations.

Developing a Recipe for Protein Water Beverages

Types of Beverages

Protein water formulation demands precise control over protein sources, processing conditions, and flavour systems across multiple beverage formats.

From Concept to Scalable Protein Water Launch

Our Process

High-protein water drink Recipe Formulation is a technically complex process that requires balancing protein clarity, taste masking, pH stability, and processing conditions. 

01. Research and Conceptualisation

It starts with defining the functional objective of the beverage: the type of protein, the dose, and positioning the product with the consumer. Whey protein isolates and other sources are determined depending on clarity, stability and nutritional needs.

The stage establishes the basis of protein drinks development services and scaling in the long run.

Research and Conceptualization 1

The dosage and solubility of proteins are well-defined to prevent haze, precipitation, and off-flavours. In this step, they answer a common question: how do they prepare protein water that is still clear and palatable?

Define Your Beverage Idea

The opportunities in market analysis are low-calorie protein water, high protein water drinks, or RTD protein drinks targeted at fitness, making them hydrating drinks every day.

Recognize the Gaps in the Market

In the case of protein drink formulation in India, all the formulations are structured according to FSSAI that pertains to protein claim, additives, stabilisers, as well as labelling requirements.

Regulatory Knowledge

The proteins used in water formulation need pH, ionic strength, and process temperature to be tightly managed. These are optimised parameters that would be used to achieve consistent dispersion and stability of protein water in the long-term.

Beverage Formulation

Proteins may be bitter or astringent. The flavour-masking system, acid balancing and modulation of sweetness are advanced in order to ensure the preservation of a clean, refreshing taste profile, which is appropriate in RTD protein drinks.

Taste Flavor and Texture Development

Shelf-life testing measures syndrome, protein integrity, sedimentation, as well as flavour stability under practical storage conditions. This is a major step involved in the development of protein water recipes in commercial markets.

Shelf Life Stabilizers and Additives

The packaging of the product, e.g. PET bottles, can, aseptic packs, etc., is evaluated to maintain product stability, reduce oxygen exposure and guarantee product safety.

Packaging Design

We advocate branding in compliance with the valid protein statements, ingredient statements, and use determinations as specified in the product development of protein drinks.

 

Creating Brands and Labels

Before scale-up, pilot batches are tested on the basis of clarity, consistency in taste, stability of proteins and consumer acceptance.

Prototype Evaluation

Pasteurisation or aseptic filling are some of the processing methods that are validated to retain protein functionality and still preserve the quality of the beverages. The step aids the mass-manufacturing of protein water.

Manufacturing Setup

Scaled-up trials and benchmarks of quality are run to final formulations, which are readied to be commercially produced.

Production Launch

Pilot learnings are translated into SOPs, ingredient specification and quality parameters to mitigate the risks of reformulation and promote the development of protein water products over time.
