Beverages are a broad category of drinks that include alcoholic drinks, such as beer, and non-alcoholic drinks, like tea and fruit juice. Consumers are increasingly demanding beverages with improved taste, flavor, and health safety benefits.
Globally, DuPont is a leading provider of purification technologies for liquid beverages. Our resins and membrane technologies help beverage producers improve safety, lower shipping costs, and enhance product health benefits as well as consumer satisfaction.
Processing fruit juices can generate bitter substances from the fruit peel or pit, resulting in undesired flavors. For example, the citrus juice industry requires the removal of limonin and naringin to improve taste.
DuPont offers dedicated polymeric adsorbents that selectively remove these bitter substances. Additionally, our adsorbents can be regenerated for multiple uses, providing a cost-effective processing solution for manufacturers.

The color value of beverages is important for quality control. Even after multiple treatments, residual color bodies can still change the color of the beverage during long term storage or shipment. This is a key challenge in beverage processing, especially for fruit juice manufacturers.
The main culprits are oxidized amino acids, polyphenols, flavonoids, and color precursors derived from sources such as tea leaves, pine bark and fruit flesh. These color bodies can be removed by DuPont’s anionic exchange resins and polymeric adsorbents without reducing beverage nutritional content.
DuPont™ AmberLite™ ion exchange resins and DuPont™ AmberLite™ XAD™ adsorbent resins remove color bodies to trace levels, which helps stabilize the color value of beverages and extends shelf life.
The ratio of sugar to organic acids in fruit juices directly impacts the flavor and taste of the final product. Excessive organic acids in fruit juice causes poor taste, turbidity, and sediment. Controlling the acidity of fruit juices is an essential part of fruit juice production.
DuPont™ AmberLite™ ion exchange resins have a high capacity, great performance stability, and a short rinse time, making it an ideal choice for removing organic acids from fruit juice.

Polyphenols are healthy compounds found in natural foods that have antioxidant and anti-aging properties in the human body. Extracting valuable polyphenols from food and beverages has always been a key goal in the industry, but selectively extracting the polyphenols without adsorbing other impurities can be challenging.
DuPont™ AmberLite™ polymeric adsorbents help enable food companies to selectively extract and purify polyphenols for high purity production.
