What to evaluate in trials
Points to confirm before formulation.
Use these points to define your trial brief. Confirm specifications for the selected product and production source.
- Appearance
- Check clarity, sediment and colour in the finished base; a product name alone does not establish beverage clarity.
- Process and storage
- Compare samples before and after the intended heat treatment and through your shelf-life study, using the proposed package.
