Döhler to Highlight Emerging Beverage Trends at SIAL

At SIAL, the company is presenting flavors which will take visitors to the trade fair on a world tour for their taste buds. Examples of flavors include European flavors such as rhubarb, trend flavors such as ginger and even exotic flavors such as coconut and the little-known pineberry.

1 Oct 2012 --- Döhler has established a high level of expertise in exclusive flavors, natural flavor extracts and emulsions over the past decades. At SIAL, the company is presenting flavors which will take visitors to the trade fair on a world tour for their taste buds. Examples of flavors include European flavors such as rhubarb, trend flavors such as ginger and even exotic flavors such as coconut and the little-known pineberry. In addition, Döhler is showing SIT, an innovative flavor technology for optimising the taste of HIS sweeteners. With emulsions for improving mouth feel, Döhler will also exhibit solutions for adding sensory value to beverages with a low juice content.

Because the DöhlerGroup has its own fruit processing plants, it has reliable access to natural fruit and vegetable ingredients, such as colouring concentrates and natural colour extracts. At SIAL, Döhler will present its portfolio of natural colours such as 'red brilliance', based on black carrot. The colour range covers warm orange tones to shining ruby tones all the way to shades of blue. All colours meet the requirements of 'clean labelling'.

Energy drinks are among the most dynamic and successful beverages. The energy market is set to diversify even further in the coming years. As part of the trend towards greater naturalness, not only are energy drinks with juice components in high demand, but so are beverages which make use of a natural energy source. This demand is met by brewed energy drinks, tea and coffee energy drinks. Calorie-free energy drinks and calorie-reduced product variants with MultiSweet Stevia will also be available for tasting at Döhler's trade fair booth.

As well as new carbonated soft drinks such as 'brewed sodas', new bitter lemonades and naturally calorie-reduced lemonades, the ingredient manufacturer is also showcasing many innovations based on cola. The range includes cola+X beverages and natural cola variants.

Still drinks open up unlimited potential for innovation. As the provider of an integrated product portfolio, Döhler has access to a huge toolbox of ingredients such as fruit juice concentrates, purees, cells and pieces as well as flavors, colours, health ingredients and emulsions at its disposal. Still lemonades with mint taste, fruit juice beverages with fruit cells and a new generation of BCE beverages can also be sampled at this year's SIAL.

Water and fruit represent the highest level of naturalness and refreshment. With new fruit splashes and aqua fruit beverages, Döhler is adding fresh and fruity vitality to water. At SIAL, the company will be exhibiting product variants with exotic flavors such as lime-ginger, as well as fruit splashes with clear NFC juices.

Malt beverages have grown out of their position as a niche product in recent years. Trendy, fruity and refreshing concepts are now on the road to success not only in the Middle East, but almost everywhere in the world. With a broad product portfolio of gently processed, filtered and concentrated malt extracts and malt compounds, Döhler makes it possible to produce malt beverages cost-efficiently. To fit in with this, Döhler will be presenting innovative and traditional product concepts such as fassbrause, a natural alternative to classic lemonades, at SIAL.

Clear shandies with citrus flavors can look back at a long history of success. Now, this popular beverage is reinvigorating the market for beer mixes as a particularly natural, cloudy variety. Premium cloudy juice concentrates give the cloudy shandy not only a particularly authentic flavor profile, but also a full mouth feel. In addition, Döhler is exhibiting beer mixes with unusual new flavors.

Cider and wine mixes are currently the latest trend beverages in international bars and restaurants. Ciders are popular both pure and as mixes. At SIAL, Döhler will be exhibiting innovative ciders and wine mixes for modern consumers. Fitting in with these concepts, Döhler supplies innovative flavors and fruit juice concentrates, as well as fruit wine and rice wine bases (alcoholic and non-alcoholic).

A change can be seen across the entire food and beverage market: the boarders between individual market segments are disappearing.
Popular beverages are mixed together half-and-half. To do this, Döhler is presenting examples including combinations of tea and lemonade or beer mixes with a high juice content at SIAL. The results offer many interesting and unusual taste sensations, from refreshing and fruity to bitter.

The consumer is also looking for more variety in liqueurs. Döhler now provides this, with liqueur creations in exciting flavors such as pineberry and coconut-lime, as well as premium Döhler cream building blocks. As well as liqueurs, Döhler has also developed new flavored alcoholic beverages.

In desserts and ice creams, it is not only the taste indulgence which is crucial for success, but also the visual experience. As well as new flavors, Döhler will also be presenting technologically advanced preparations for desserts and ice creams. The range of 'sensory sensations' stretches from ice creams to 'Hugo cocktail' sorbet and even panna cotta in an innovative turn-out pot. Döhler will also exhibit popular ayran drinking yoghurts with modern flavors and indulgent milkshakes at SIAL.

Along with these products and product applications, Döhler will be introducing a wide range of other innovations which can be tasted at the theme islands.  Döhler will thus emphasise its role as a leading supplier and producer of technology-based natural ingredients, ingredient systems and integrated solutions for the food and beverage industry.
