Beverage acidulants are a vital ingredient in sour, zesty beverages. These acidulants bring a clean and a refreshing taste to any beverage that they are added to. Beverage acidulants also protect the obtained final product from developing any undesirable flavor that may throw off the beverage’s perfect mix. Beverage acidulants are widely used in the beverage processing industry as additives, preservatives, and flavoring agents. Owing to the widespread use and growing demand for high-quality beverages, the safety of the finished product is critical. Supported by approval from various regulating authorities for the use of acidulants in different drinks, beverage acidulants are gaining significant traction.

Citric Acid Beverage Acidulants to Continue Holding Pole Position

There are quite a few varieties of beverage acidulants available commercially, including acetic acid, phosphorus acid, citric acid, and more, with each having their flavor, concentration, and usage limit. The most commonly used acidulant in beverages is the citric acid-based beverage acidulant. It is by far the most important, resourceful, and broadly used organic acid. Citric acid-based beverage acidulants are used for the sharp taste that they provide in soft drinks and sweets. Citric acid is derived from limes and lemons, but is now produced commercially through a fermentation process. Phosphoric acid-based beverage acidulants are the second-most used acidulants in the beverage industry. The major end-product in which these are used are cola drinks. Cola drinks are envisaged to be the best-selling flavored soft drinks, globally. These have a harsh, biting taste that complements the flavor of the cola.

On the basis of form, the beverage acidulants market is segregated into powder, liquid, and granules. The granule form of beverage acidulants is gaining significant traction, and is anticipated to register a relatively high growth rate in the beverage acidulants market over the forecast period.

On the basis of application, the beverage acidulants market is segregated into soft drinks, dairy-based beverages, fruit juices and concentrates, alcoholic beverages, and energy drinks. The segment which seems relatively sturdier over the forecast period is the fruit juices and concentrates beverages segment. It is expected to maintain its high share in the beverage acidulants market over the forecast period, though, the growth rate at which it is expanding is relatively moderate.

On the basis of nature, the beverage acidulants market is segregated into synthetic and organic. The organic segment is expected to be a hot prospect in the coming years, owing to the increased demand for natural and clean label food and beverage products. Major organic beverage acidulants include citric acid-based beverage acidulants, malic acid-based beverage acidulants, and tartaric acid-based beverage acidulants.

Beverage Acidulants Providing a Cost-Effective Solution to Food and Beverage Service Providers

Various beverage manufacturers are focused on providing different beverages at an optimum cost, owing to high demand from consumers. In view of the same, multiple companies have implemented the integrated production approach to deliver cost-effective beverages. Beverage acidulants provide a cost-effective solution in the production of various beverages, including soft drinks, cola drinks, and more.

Organic Beverage Acidulants Gaining Widespread Popularity

An increasing number of consumers are aware of the need for a healthy regime. Organic beverage acidulants such as citric acid-based beverage acidulants are widely used in beverages as additives, since they are naturally-derived preservatives. They are naturally present in almost all citrus fruits. Owing to the increasing awareness about the harmful and ill-effects of synthetic and non-natural acids, consumers are increasingly shifting towards beverages that contain naturally-derived ingredients.

Expansion of Processed Beverages Industry Providing Significant Boost to the Beverage Acidulants Market

One of the primary factors anticipated to boost the beverage acidulants market across the globe is the expansion of the beverage processing industry in various developing and less-developed countries.
In countries with a rapidly increasing urban population such as India, China, and Brazil, and regions such as the Middle East, the demand for processed beverages is growing significantly. This is attributed to increasing product visibility, adoption of retail formats, and launch of new and more beneficial products, owing to naturally-derived ingredients that offer various health benefits to consumers.

Beverage Acidulants Give an Enhanced Flavor and Shelf Life to Beverages

The use of beverage acidulants not only enhance flavor but also increase the shelf life of beverages. They also improve the taste of beverages. Taste, shelf life, and flavor are all vital factors that determine individual choices. The increasing demand for improved shelf-life and flavor in beverages is providing a significant lift to the beverage acidulants market.

Beverage acidulants are additives that are added to give a sharp taste to finished products or beverages. Acids, in the form of acidulants, have been used for decades as important contributors to flavour, and the environment that is produced by the acid prohibits the growth of many harmful microorganisms.
Most beverages need the inclusion of an acidulant to give a sour or acidic taste.

Major beverage acidulants include acetic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, phosphoric acid, lactic acid, and tartaric acid. Each beverage acidulant has its own taste profiles. The most common, citric acid, has a lemony taste, while acetic acid possesses a familiar vinegar flavour. Also, tartaric acid gives a sharp taste that doesn't last for a long time, while malic acid possesses a sharp taste with a slower build up. Lactic acid has a flavour that lasts and is relatively mild.

Natural foods from which the acidulants are extracted include oranges, tomatoes, apples, lemons, and citrus fruits. Citric acid is derived from citrus fruits, and it is by far the most widely used acid in food and beverage products. Initially, it could only be extracted from citrus fruits, but now, most of it is prepared by fermentation. Around half of all citric acid in food and beverages is used as a beverage acidulant.

The ethnic flavors emerging in soft drinks are having an increasingly significant impact on new product developments in the beverage industry, resulting in an increased demand for beverage acidulants. A growing Hispanic population in the U.S. has helped summer drinks gain a significant share from a broad base of consumers. The use of acidulants in beverages has experienced a considerable hike with attention on ethnic flavors.
