Overview
Fortitech
Fortitech is extending its range
of services and capabilities by
providing an all-in-one product
development solution for powdered
beverages. Fortitech’s allin-one
product is a convenient
way to deliver nutrients, flavours,
colours, stabilisers and sweeteners
in one complete powdered
solution. The key benefit to a
beverage manufacturer is getting
innovative beverages to market
faster and minimising the risk of
ingredient interaction while preserving
the taste, texture, appearance
and mouth feel of the end
product with the added benefit
of a longer shelf life. Fortitech is
boosting its new service by offering a free sample from its website,
www.fortitech.com/beverage. The free sample is in a stick pack
format and contains over a dozen nutrients. Beverages with added
health benefits are in high demand and Fortitech is leading the way
in product development in this area.
Fortitech can provide everything a manufacturer needs to create and
launch innovative beverages faster. In addition, Fortitech is utilising
its added value manufacturing capabilities in the areas of agglomeration,
roll compaction, spray drying and encapsulation to ensure
the end product maintains its flavour profile and fully dissolves in
water.

can probably either source it or offer a recommendation.
