High rehydration beverage consumption represents a significant opportunity for the integration of biotic products that offer the potential to improve body composition and intestinal health. (IQS) infusions contain polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and in combination with probiotic strains and prebiotic materials, they offer a promising alternative for generating designer beverages for physically active people. These beverages were formulated using a combination of IQS, agave fructooligosaccharides (FOS), microencapsulated probiotics of and , electrolytes, and glucose.

Oak infusions enriched with agavins may offer nutraceutical benefits in the development of iced teas. This study evaluated infusions of and leaves formulated with different concentrations of agavins (0, 2, 6, and 10%), analyzing their physicochemical and sensory properties, chemical stability, and antioxidant capacity. The incorporation of agavins resulted in substantial modifications to physicochemical parameters, including pH, titratable acidity, and soluble solids, thereby enhancing product stability and consistency.
