Flavor Innovator
Client Request: Develop new juice product for an Institute of Food Technologists Convention
Crystal Lake Beverage Development:
CLB formulated and aseptically packaged a reduced calorie juice drink with an original flavor CLB called “Peach Orange Riff” © as a New Orleans jazz theme.
- The product was well received at the convention, creating interest in the client’s beverage ingredients and reduced calorie drink category.
- A medium sized juice company at the convention requested the formulation to produce a new product introduction.
This product is one of many innovative flavors introduced by Mr. Burg beginning in 1987 that have generated new flavor opportunities over the last two decades.
- Another innovative flavor developed for this client at an Interbev Convention was “GuavaBerry” ©, a fantasy flavor, in which category CLB specializes.
Innovative fantasy flavors and unique flavor fusions are a central focus of CLB for client new introductions, whether the products be beverage, health food or confections. CLB offers ideas and product solutions to food companies that seek to expand their markets with new products sought by an ever-growing consumer interest in new taste sensations.
