ABSTRACT
Many a time, a soft drink food technologist is called upon to draw up a master beverage formulation. This master formulation could be required for various reasons or purposes. There may be a need to check out a formulation that was acquired from an outside source, such as a flavor house, to confirm the claimed quality parameters of Brix, acidity, preservative levels, etc. Sometimes a currently used formulation, when prepared in the factory, does not result in the stipulated beverage Brix, and extra sugar is always needed to achieve the right specification.
