Private label zero-sugar drinks

Zero-sugar is a mainstream expectation among urban Indian consumers, and one of the harder things to formulate. We build sugar-free and low-calorie formulas in our lab using sweetener systems chosen for your flavour, and arrange production, testing and labelling.

How do we formulate and produce zero-sugar drinks?

  • Sweetener blends using stevia, monk fruit, erythritol and others, tested against a full-sugar benchmark
  • Mouthfeel and body replacement for the texture sugar provides
  • Flavour rebalancing, since flavours behave differently without sugar
  • Stability testing for sweetness and taste over shelf life
  • Label review for sugar and calorie claims

What should you plan for in this category?

  • Plan for several formulation rounds on taste masking and mouthfeel
  • Specify the sweetener grade, because quality varies widely and affects aftertaste
  • Zero sugar does not always mean zero calories, so claims must match the final formula

Common questions

Which sweeteners do you work with?
We work with stevia, monk fruit and erythritol, and with blends of them, chosen for the flavour, price target and format.
Can a zero-sugar drink taste like the full-sugar version?
It can get close with the right sweetener blend and mouthfeel build, though a small difference usually remains. We tell you where it is during tasting rounds.
Does zero sugar mean zero calories?
Not always. Some bulking agents contribute a small number of calories, so claims must be checked against the final formula and FSSAI requirements.
