In shortFor beverage ingredients, solubility, acidity, stability, and turbidity are key. Acidulants, sweeteners, water-soluble vitamins, and soluble dietary fiber are commonly used, with a clear appearance and stable taste required.
Beverage design points
- Solubility (avoiding sediment/turbidity)
- Balance of acidity/pH and taste
- Stability during storage (discoloration, separation)
Commonly used ingredients
Acidulants (e.g., citric acid), sweeteners (erythritol, high-intensity sweeteners), water-soluble vitamins, and soluble fiber. For amino acids, mind solubility.

FAQ
How to prevent turbidity?
Choose highly soluble ingredients/forms and adjust formulation pH and dissolution conditions.
How to design acidity?
Adjust pH with acidulants like citric acid and balance against sweetness.
Using amino acids in drinks?
Mind solubility; use instant types or adjust dosage.
