Celsius Holdings is restructuring into three distinct brand-centric business units: Celsius, Alani Nu, and Rockstar Energy & Emerging Growth. Each unit will operate under the leadership of an individual president responsible for strategy and operations. This realignment aims to enhance focus and efficiency within the company, allowing each brand to develop tailored strategies to meet market demands and drive growth.

AG Barr has issued a recall for one-litre cartons of Rubicon juice drinks, specifically Yuzu and Pink Grapefruit flavors, due to an undeclared allergen risk. The beverages may pose a health risk to individuals with sensitivities to sulphites. Consumers are advised to check their purchases and return the affected products to the retailer for a refund to ensure safety.

Fifteen popular energy drinks have been ranked based on their caffeine content per serving, ranging from GFuel at 140 milligrams to Bang at 300 milligrams. This ranking provides a clear comparison of the caffeine levels found in these beverages, highlighting the significant differences in caffeine concentration among various brands. The list serves as a resource for consumers seeking to understand the caffeine content in their energy drink choices.

Recent rainfall has negatively impacted the quality of fruit in Brazil, particularly citrus, causing concerns among producers. However, the moisture levels are expected to benefit the upcoming 2027/28 crop, potentially leading to improved yields. The balance between current fruit quality issues and future crop advantages highlights the complex dynamics within Brazil's agricultural sector, particularly in relation to weather patterns and their effects on production.

China's citrus exports to Russia experienced a significant increase in September, with export values rising over sixfold compared to August. This surge marks the highest export level recorded since April. The growth in trade underscores the strengthening economic ties between the two countries in the citrus market, reflecting a notable shift in export dynamics within the region.

Tucumán's citrus export season for 2026 concluded with approximately 90,000 tons of fruit shipped, equating to 3,500 containers. This figure represents a 9.3% increase compared to the previous year, which saw 3,200 containers exported in 2025. The growth in export volume highlights an upward trend in Tucumán's citrus production and its capacity to meet international demand for citrus fruits.

Citrus essential oils (EOs) can elicit taste-like perceptions, which may result from either direct activation of taste receptors or the integration of retronasal aroma and taste. The study investigates the mechanisms behind these perceptions, highlighting the complexity of flavor experiences associated with citrus EOs. Understanding these processes could enhance the application of citrus EOs in food and beverage formulations, optimizing flavor profiles for consumers.

This study evaluated the incorporation of essential oils (EOs) into apple juice using two methods: homogenized oil dispersion (HD) and nanoemulsion delivery. Results indicated that nanoemulsion delivery significantly improved the physicochemical stability and sensory acceptability of the essential-oil-enriched apple juice compared to HD. The findings suggest that nanoemulsion technology may enhance the quality and consumer appeal of fruit juices infused with essential oils.

Researchers at São Paulo State University (Unesp) have developed a bio-based nanoemulsion aimed at reducing citrus greening bacteria in seedlings. This innovative solution could potentially enhance the health and productivity of citrus crops, addressing a significant challenge faced by the citrus industry. The nanoemulsion's effectiveness in combating this bacterial disease may lead to improved yields and sustainability in citrus farming practices.
