Eliminating BVO and other Weighting Agents
Q-NATURALE®
Drivers behind elimination of weighting agents
• Weighting agents, like BVO and SAIB, constitute
approximately half of the cost in emulsion
• Weighting agents contribute to opacity in some beverages
and sediment in alcoholic beverages
• Time-consuming process in dissolving weighting agent
• Regulation limits weighting agent usage level
• Natural beverages cannot use weighting agents
• Consumer awareness of “unfriendly” ingredients
Natural/clean label beverages:
formulation challenges
Stabilizing a
natural beverage
without adding
artificial
ingredients
Developing a
cost-effective
formulation
Delivering a natural beverage that is cost effective
• 2–3% Q-Naturale can replace 18% gum Arabic in an emulsion for a 20%
cost-in-use savings

Fortifying beverages: formulation challenges
• Delivering daily requirements to make a
package claim
• Achieving a great-tasting beverage for
consumer appeal regardless of the
active/nutrient
• Stabilizing difficult actives
• Delivering clarity in “fortified waters”
Weight management: formulation challenges
• Delivering actives for weight
management
• Meet daily dietary requirements in
beverage
• Create a stable emulsion & beverage
• Deliver a clear beverage
• Manage viscosity of emulsion during
processing
Delivering actives for weight management can also be
derived from the use of high oil-load emulsions
• High oil-load emulsions needed
• Fine particle size in emulsions
required
• Low-viscosity emulsifier for
processing purposes
• Removal of weighting agents
• Minimize dosage in beverage for
sensory reasons
Clear beverages: formulation challenges
• Achieving crystal-clear
beverages
• Delivering oil-soluble flavors
and actives while maintaining
clarity
• Creating a long-term stable
emulsion
• Eliminating weighting agents in
order to achieve clarity
Non-weighted emulsions for clear beverage
applications
• Non-weighted emulsions reduce
beverage's opacity
• Fortified and flavored waters as well
as nutritional and sports drinks that
are clear and are more appealing to
consumers are now possible.

Challenge: Delivering flavors and colors to
alcoholic malt beverages
Challenge for this segment: To find clean label emulsifiers that
effectively deliver flavors and colors in alcoholic applications.
In alcoholic beverages, such as wine coolers and flavored malt
beverages and bar mixes, Q-NATURALE® emulsifier improves end
product quality due to its consistent particle size, elimination of
sedimentation and enhanced opacity.
Non-weighted emulsion in 20% alcohol beverage applications
• Reduce density difference between 2 phases
• Provide finer particle size
Alcoholic Beverages demonstrate no sediment
when made with Q-NATURALE emulsifier

Q-NATURALE brings multiple advantages
• Uniquely enable high value / challenging applications
– Clear beverages
– Non-weighted emulsions
– Alcoholic beverages
• Natural and sustainable
• Consistent quality
• Ease of handling
– Comes as a liquid without need for dissolution and hydration,
unlike gum based systems.
• Instant flavor release
• Other potential applications, such an encapsulation
• Global favorable regulatory status
