Eliminating BVO and other Weighting Agents

Q-NATURALE
Drivers behind elimination of weighting agents
Weighting agents, like BVO and SAIB, constitute
approximately half of the cost in emulsion
Weighting agents contribute to opacity in some beverages
and sediment in alcoholic beverages
Time-consuming process in dissolving weighting agent
Regulation limits weighting agent usage level
Natural beverages cannot use weighting agents
Consumer awareness of unfriendly ingredients
Natural/clean label beverages:

Fortifying beverages: formulation challenges
Delivering daily requirements to make a
package claim
Achieving a great-tasting beverage for
consumer appeal regardless of the
active/nutrient
Stabilizing difficult actives
Delivering clarity in fortified waters

Weight management: formulation challenges
Delivering actives for weight
management
Meet daily dietary requirements in
beverage
Create a stable emulsion & beverage
Deliver a clear beverage
Manage viscosity of emulsion during
processing

Delivering actives for weight management can also be
derived from the use of high oil-load emulsions
High oil-load emulsions needed
Fine particle size in emulsions
required
Low-viscosity emulsifier for
processing purposes
Removal of weighting agents
Minimize dosage in beverage for
sensory reasons


Clear beverages: formulation challenges
Achieving crystal-clear
beverages
Delivering oil-soluble flavors
and actives while maintaining
clarity
Creating a long-term stable
emulsion
Eliminating weighting agents in
order to achieve clarity



Non-weighted emulsions for clear beverage
applications
Non-weighted emulsions reduce
beverage's opacity
Fortified and flavored waters as well
as nutritional and sports drinks that
are clear and are more appealing to
consumers are now possible.
Clear Turbid
Challenge: Delivering flavors and colors to
alcoholic malt beverages
Challenge for this segment: To find clean label emulsifiers that
effectively deliver flavors and colors in alcoholic applications.

In alcoholic beverages, such as wine coolers and flavored malt
beverages and bar mixes, Q-NATURALE

emulsifier improves end
product quality due to its consistent particle size, elimination of
sedimentation and enhanced opacity.
Non-weighted emulsion in 20% alcohol beverage applications
Reduce density difference between 2 phases
Provide finer particle size
