Reduce Sugar, Maintain Taste: Smarter Solutions for High-Protein Beverages

The demand for high-protein and functional beverages continues to grow, driven by consumers seeking products that deliver enhanced nutrition–often with added protein, fiber, electrolytes, and other functional benefits. At the same time, reducing sugar has become a baseline expectation, creating a complex formulation challenge for product developers.
In this webinar, we will explore practical strategies for reducing sugar in high-protein and functional beverage systems without compromising taste, stability, or overall sensory performance. Learn how ingredients like erythritol can provide clean, sugar-like sweetness, support flavor balance, and work synergistically with high-intensity sweeteners, while also addressing challenges related to texture and stability in more complex formulations.
This session will deliver application-focused insights to help you deliver next-generation beverages that meet both consumer expectations and technical requirements.
Key Takeaways:
- Practical strategies to reduce sugar in high-protein systems without sacrificing taste
- How erythritol functions in beverage systems
- Approaches to balancing sweetness with high-intensity sweeteners
- Formulation considerations for protein astringency modulation and stability improvement
