Fruity Dried Powder Beverage Formulation
Budget: ₹37,500 – ₹75,000 INR
I’m developing a fruit-based, dried powder beverage and need a food scientist to convert my concept into a repeatable, small-batch formula that can later be scaled for commercial production. Because this project is about a powder beverage rather than a conventional cuisine style, every decision must revolve around mixability, flavour integrity and shelf stability.
The core of the formulation will rely on fruits as the primary ingredient source. I’m aiming for a clean label profile—natural colours, flavours and sweeteners only—while still delivering vibrant taste, pleasant mouthfeel and quick dissolution in cold water.
Deliverables I need from you
• Person based in Ahmedabad or Gujarat preferred
• Bench-scale recipe with exact percentages and process steps
• 32 different variants need to develop,( Rose,Blueberry–Lemon ,Pineapple,etc)
• Nutritional breakdown (per 100 g and per serving) generated in accordance with FDA/EFSA tables
• pH, water activity and suggested preservative strategy to secure 12-month shelf life in sealed pouches
• Sensory and solubility test protocol I can repeat in my kitchen lab
• Brief recommendations on ingredient sourcing and contract manufacturing partners suitable for scale-up
Acceptance criteria
The blend must fully disperse in 30 seconds of light stirring, leave no grit, and maintain flavour and colour for at least 4 hours post-mix at room temperature. Finished product must stay within declared nutrient ranges ±5 %. All documentation should be clear enough that a co-packer can reproduce the batch without additional clarification.
Experience with spray-drying, freeze-drying, micro-encapsulated flavours or similar powdered beverage tech is a definite plus. If this matches your skill set, I’m ready to move quickly and provide immediate feedback on test iterations.
