Functional beverage formulation

Beverage formulation built to survive the complete system.

We develop still and carbonated functional beverages around ingredient behavior, sensory quality, pH, processing conditions, packaging, shelf life, and commercial feasibility.

The technical challenge

In a beverage, every ingredient can change flavor, clarity, stability, preservation, and process risk.

Constellation treats the formula, process, package, and consumer experience as one connected system. That creates a clearer route from early concept through pilot decisions and commercial production.

What we handle

Development built around the complete product.

01

Formula and dose strategy

Active ingredients, claims, serving size, regulatory category, and consumer experience aligned.

02

Flavor architecture

Flavor, sweetness, acid, bitterness, aroma, carbonation, and finish designed together.

03

Physical stability

Solubility, suspension, haze, sediment, foam, color, and ingredient interactions evaluated.

04

Process compatibility

Formula decisions informed by thermal processing, cold fill, carbonation, preservation, and plant capability.

05

Package alignment

Can, bottle, closure, liner, light, oxygen, and serving experience considered with the formula.

06

Commercial coordination

COGS, qualified production, sourcing, testing, release, freight, and repeat manufacturing managed.

Applications

Built for ambitious product concepts.

How the work advances

A disciplined path from brief to commercial readiness.

01

Frame

Define the benefit, dose, consumer, sensory target, package, process, and economics.

02

Build

Develop the active and flavor systems through deliberate prototype iterations.

03

Prepare

Address specifications, stability risks, testing, processing, sourcing, and scale requirements.

04

Execute

Coordinate qualified production and the commercial path through release and delivery.
