Fruit-flavored soft drinks are beverages that primarily feature the taste of various fruits. These drinks can be made with artificial or natural fruit flavors, or a combination of both, and often include added sugars or sweeteners.

Functional foods and beverages are modified food and beverages that claim to enhance the well-being and health of consumers, providing value-added benefits beyond the traditional nutrients contained in normal foods and beverages.

Gluten-free beer can be described as a beer that is devoid of any gluten (a protein primarily found in wheat, barley, and rye). The global gluten-free beer market forms only a minor part of the overall global gluten-free food and beverages market. However, the market has grown significantly over the past five years due to an increase in demand among consumers with celiac disease. Gluten-free beers are manufactured predominantly from ingredients like sorghum, buckwheat, rice millet, corn, and Kebari barley. However, in recent years, companies like Dohler and Koninklijke DSM have come up with innovative techniques to brew gluten-free beer using regular ingredients, such as barley and wheat.

Kombucha is a fermented drink that is popular as a functional beverage for its health benefits. It is prepared by fermenting sweetened tea with a culture of yeast and bacteria, known as a SCOBY.
