Beverage flavors are widely used in the food industry, mainly to enhance or give specific flavors and aromas to beverages, and to enhance the attractiveness and market competitiveness of products. By choosing and blending flavors, beverage companies can create differentiated products while maintaining a focus on consumer preferences and technological innovation to remain competitive in the market.

Application scenarios

• Carbonated drinks: such as cola, lemonade, etc., citrus, vanilla, cinnamon and other flavors are commonly used to present the flavor of fruits, herbs, spices and other flavors, and balance the irritation of carbonic acid.

• Fruit drinks: Complement or enhance natural fruit flavors (e.g., mango, strawberry, orange), especially when juice content is low.

• Tea & Coffee: Add jasmine, peach, caramel and other flavors to enrich the flavor (e.g. iced tea, flavored latte).

• Functional drinks: e.g. sports drinks (lemon, grapefruit flavor), energy drinks (tropical fruits, herbal flavors).

• Milk drinks: strawberry, banana, vanilla flavor is often used in yogurt and lactic acid bacteria drinks.

• Functional drinks (such as sports drinks, energy drinks): refreshing flavors (such as citrus and peppermint) can be added to improve the bitter and astringent taste caused by functional ingredients.

• Solid beverages (such as instant coffee, fruit-flavored brews): Flavor is used to ensure stable flavor after brewing and restore the target taste.

• Alcoholic beverages: tropical fruits, mint and other flavors commonly used in pre-mixed cocktails and fruit beers.

• Sugar-free/low-sugar beverages: make up for the loss of flavor caused by sugar reduction through flavor (e.g., Coke Zero uses stronger vanilla and cinnamon flavors).

• Plant-based beverages: mask beany flavor (e.g., soy milk) or enhance nut flavor (e.g., almond milk).
