Coconut Ingredient in New Beverage to Launch in June

The Beverage Daily of June 07 reports of new beverage launches to hit the shelves this month around the world. In the list were hard seltzers, tequila soda, sparkling and canned cocktails, coffee, smoothies among others.  

One of them in the list included coconut as ingredient which Agus is launching in Europe.  It is a new smoothie line leveraging aseptic processing technology to create a shelf stable beverage with a 12-month shelf life.  Hello Day! Smoothie consists of natural, non-concentrated purees, fruit juices and coconut milk without the addition of low-cost fillers, the company said.  The ‘thick, filling liquid snack’ is available in three flavors: passion fruit, pineapple, and mango.

Because the product is ambient, it does not require controlled temperature distribution and logistics, a factor that has a ‘significant impact’ on cost optimization in the supply chain, the company says.  The drinks can be sold either via ambient shelves or in the on-the-go chiller cabinet.
