Smart Sips: Brewing Benefits for Hard Seltzers
It seems that more hard seltzer brands are popping up each day. That’s no surprise, considering that seltzer is the fastest growing alcohol as well as the only segment to exhibit continuous growth during the global pandemic.
By 2025, sugar-based RTDs are forecasted to rise to $9 billion in sales, a growth rate of 20.5% 1
Now, there’s a new—and better—way to achieve consumer-pleasing hard seltzers.
The Ideal Fermentation Feedstock for Hard Seltzers
ADM’s Liquid Dextrose Edge is a superior solution to sucrose for fermentation in RTD alcohol and the highest purity liquid dextrose in the market achieved enzymatically. Liquid Dextrose Edge contains higher purity of glucose and higher dextrose equivalent (DE) with the same flow and consistency as liquid sucrose, making it an ideal fermentation feedstock.
Grain-derived sugars and syrups have been used in alcohol production for millennia. ADM’s extensive history in ethanol and beverage grade alcohol positions them as the perfect partner to support beverage manufacturers as they tackle fermentation challenges.
Untapped Potential: Brewing Benefits
This proprietary ingredient offers a long list of functionality and processing benefits for hard seltzer formulation and production—resulting in superior performance for your business.
A convenient drop-in solution, Liquid Dextrose Edge features these top 3 processing benefits:
- Increased efficiency. Liquid Dextrose Edge delivers a higher real degree of fermentation (RDF) and lower real extract to alcohol ratio (RE/Alcw).
- Faster fermentation. Shave off 12 hours of fermentation time compared to sucrose—for better asset utilization and to reduce bottlenecking during production.
- Less residual sugars and lower calories. Post fermentation, Edge results in nearly a 50% reduction of residual sugars and higher yeast productivity, accounting for less loss of product, easier clean-up of the tanks, and less unconverted sugars and calories in your final product.
Liquid Dextrose Edge speeds fermentation by 12 hours and delivers a higher return on raw materials with up to 50% reduction in residual sugars—allowing you to reach your target sugars and calories without reducing alcohol content.
