Coffee Fruit CASRADO
CASRADO™ is Cherrycol’s concentrated coffee-fruit ingredient, developed to capture the natural character of the coffee fruit in a versatile liquid format. Designed for modern beverage and food applications, it brings the fruit’s distinctive composition into an easy-to-use concentrate. CASRADO™ gives product developers a new way to work with coffee fruit, moving beyond traditional coffee and into innovative ingredient applications.
From Coffee Fruit to Concentrate
The coffee plant produces more than the bean.
Inside the coffee fruit is a complex natural matrix containing sugars, organic compounds, polyphenols, chlorogenic acid, caffeine, minerals, and other components. Cherrycol’s work focuses on capturing this character and turning it into a usable liquid ingredient.
That development led to CASRADO™.
What Is CASRADO™?
CASRADO™ is a concentrated coffee-fruit liquid ingredient designed for formulation.
Rather than requiring manufacturers to work directly with raw coffee fruit, CASRADO™ provides the fruit character in a concentrated format that can be incorporated into different product concepts.
The focus is simple:
Coffee Fruit → Concentration → CASRADO™ → New Product Applications
Why a Concentrate?
A liquid concentrate creates a different opportunity from conventional dried coffee-fruit ingredients.
It can be measured, blended, and incorporated directly into liquid formulations, making it particularly interesting for beverage development.
This opens possibilities for products where the natural character of coffee fruit needs to become part of the finished formulation without introducing a bulky solid ingredient.
Built for Beverage Innovation
CASRADO™ is particularly suited to beverage developers exploring ingredients beyond conventional coffee.
It can be explored in:
Ready-to-drink beverages
Functional beverage concepts
Coffee-fruit beverages
Tea-style beverages
Blended beverages
Concentrated beverage bases
Food and beverage formulations
The exact inclusion level and formulation depend on the desired sensory profile and finished product.
The Character of Coffee Fruit
Coffee fruit has its own identity.
It is not simply another form of coffee. The fruit carries its own combination of sweetness, acidity, botanical notes, and naturally occurring compounds.
CASRADO™ is designed to bring that character into formulations while maintaining the identity of the coffee fruit.
A Concentrated Ingredient Platform
The opportunity with CASRADO™ extends beyond a single beverage.
A concentrated ingredient can become a building block for different formulations, allowing product developers to experiment with flavour, concentration, blending, and application.
This makes CASRADO™ less about selling coffee fruit itself and more about making coffee fruit usable as an ingredient.
Developed Around the Fruit
Cherrycol's approach is focused on retaining the natural character of the coffee fruit while creating a practical ingredient format.
The objective is not to turn the fruit into another coffee product.
It is to create something that allows manufacturers to ask a different question:
What can we make with the coffee fruit?
The Opportunity
Coffee has spent decades being understood primarily through its bean.
CASRADO™ opens another direction — the fruit itself.
By concentrating coffee-fruit character into a liquid ingredient, Cherrycol creates a platform that product developers can explore across beverages and food applications.
The bean gave coffee its identity. CASRADO™ explores what the fruit can become.
