Global Coffee Brand
Extending Shelf Life in Ready-to-Drink Coffee
Challenge
A leading beverage company needed to stabilize its ready-to-drink coffee line without artificial preservatives. In-house trials with natural stabilizers failed to retain flavor over long storage while meeting sensory requirements, resulting in delays and sunk R&D costs.
Solution
Using Slate, the R&D team identified five natural antioxidants and encapsulation systems validated for preserving aroma and flavor. Each option was cross-mapped to 6-month shelf-life efficacy studies, regulatory approvals in target markets, and competitors’ past failures, giving the team both validated pathways and clear pitfalls to avoid.
