“The same trends that you are seeing happening in ready to drinks (RTDs), are also on the rise in powders. Think of sugar reduction, protein enrichment, plant-based, and functionals!”
“While in RTDs you may have issues in terms of stability, in powdered beverages maintaining the serving size and having good reconstitution properties are major issues when reformulating.”
