Food & Beverage Concepts at IMCD Germany
Discover all of our different concepts to redesign the texture & mouthfeel, taste, and function of food & beverages to meet the growing consumer desires for sustainable and healthy nutrition.
Better performance, faster recovery, fruity taste – the IMCD Functional Water enables an optimal nutrient supply before and after sports.
The global health crisis has been followed by a mental health crisis. End consumers are focusing on health, wellbeing, nutrition, and sports with the aim of improving and maintaining their physical and mental health. In addition, they are noticing the increasing impact of climate change and are looking for sustainable product options when reaching for the supermarket shelf.
Our experts at IMCD Food & Nutrition develop customised prototypes for the food and beverage industry – our so-called Food & Beverage concepts – based on these consumer trends "A sustainable Future" and "Pursuit of Health and Happiness". Our latest beverage innovations are two sport drinks that are optimally matched to each other and are available in two delicious variants:
- Booster (lemon & lime) and
- Regeneration (white peach).

IMCD Functional Water – Impact, requirement and challenges
Our IMCD trend concept is adapted to the special needs before and after sports. The booster variant is optimally prepared for an upcoming sports session thanks to the caffeine-containing green tea extract and the vitamin mix it contains.
The regeneration variant can help to optimise and even shorten the regeneration time with calming camomile extract, vitamins and amino acids as well as omega 3 fatty acids.
The refreshing flavours Lemon-Lime and White Peach make the Functional Water a real treat, so that the daily fluid target can be reached without any problems and nutrients can be absorbed directly at the same time.
Product requirements
Despite a conscious and healthy diet, consumers want to create moments of joy in their daily lives while resorting to healthier alternatives. Sport drinks should support the body's performance and be natural. Our IMCD Beverage concept combines health benefits with delicious taste – without the need for tablets and dragées!
Technical challenges
The functional waters should have a pleasant mouthfeel, calorie-free sweetness and a clear colour. A special challenge is the high fibre content, because this affects the production process and the viscosity.
