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.

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.

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.

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.

Food and beverage warehousing is an essential aspect of the food supply chain because most foods and beverages are temperature sensitive and perishable. Refrigeration helps to keep products fresh and prevents contamination. The competitiveness of the industry is driven by the service or infrastructure ability of companies apart from the price and value-added services offered. Key companies are expanding their infrastructure much ahead of the demand to grasp customer attention and distract them from unorganized or local companies. Since warehousing buildings and refrigerated vehicles are fixed assets, companies need to concentrate on building scale and customer networks to stay competitive in this fragmented market.

Food and beverage cold chain logistics refers to the process of transporting and storing perishable food and beverage products under controlled temperature conditions from the point of origin to the point of consumption.

Flavored powder drinks are processed beverage products in powdered form. These flavored powders are used to prepare various beverages, such as flavored milk beverages, fruit-based flavored drinks, and energy drinks. Flavored powders are mixed with both milk and water. Water-based drinks are usually cold beverages, including energy drinks, flavor-based soft drinks, and fruit mix drinks.
