Discover how TM² enhances taste and carbonation retention

The beverage industry is constantly evolving, with manufacturers seeking new ways to improve taste, reduce sugar, and deliver exceptional consumer experiences. At IFT First 2026 in Chicago, running from 12 – 15th July,  CO₂Sustain will be showcasing how TM² helps beverage brands address these challenges.

Visit us at Booth 663 to learn more about this innovative technology and take part in a live tasting experience.

Improving taste in reduced-sugar beverages

As consumer demand for lower-sugar products continues to grow, beverage manufacturers face the challenge of maintaining great taste while reducing sugar content. High-intensity sweeteners can often introduce bitterness, lingering sweetness, or unwanted aftertastes that affect overall product enjoyment.

TM² helps improve flavour perception by reducing sweetener off-notes and creating a cleaner, more balanced taste profile. This allows brands to develop reduced-sugar beverages that better meet consumer expectations without compromising on taste.

Supporting carbonation retention

Carbonation plays a critical role in the overall beverage experience, contributing to mouthfeel, refreshment, and flavour delivery. However, maintaining carbonation throughout a product’s shelf life can be challenging.

TM² helps beverages retain carbonation for longer, supporting product quality and helping consumers enjoy a more consistent drinking experience from opening to the final sip.

Experience TM² through live tastings

At IFT First 2026, visitors to Booth 663 will have the opportunity to experience TM² firsthand through live beverage tastings.

These demonstrations provide a unique opportunity to explore how TM² can:

• Improve flavour profiles in reduced-sugar beverages
• Reduce sweetener aftertastes
• Enhance consumer drinking experiences
• Support carbonation retention
• Help differentiate beverage products in a competitive market

Our team will also be available to discuss formulation challenges, product development projects, and opportunities to incorporate TM² into a variety of beverage applications.
