MAK Food Company supplies red fruit ingredients for bottled and flavoured water formulations, with berry, cherry, pomegranate and other references for technical evaluation. Manufacturers can select suitable grades according to the desired fruit character, colour, acidity and appearance of still or sparkling water-based drinks.
Red fruit profiles give developers different options for flavour and appearance in water-based beverages. Strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, cranberry, cherry, pomegranate, aronia, hibiscus and berry mix references differ in their sensory and physical characteristics.
MAK Food Company supports ingredient comparison using the technical specification of each grade. Buyers should review composition, colour, acidity, soluble solids, clarity and any particle characteristics. Clear references, purees and preparations have different properties and should be evaluated against the intended drink format rather than treated as interchangeable.
Suitable red fruit ingredients can be assessed in still or sparkling flavoured water concepts through representative trials. Testing should establish inclusion level and evaluate flavour intensity, colour, sedimentation and changes during storage. The chosen specification, packaging, handling, storage requirements and shelf life should be confirmed for the exact reference.
