Citri-Fi® Citrus Fiber in Pulpy Sauces
Citri-Fi citrus fiber provides high water holding capacity due to its surface area. As a result, this natural food ingredient extends pulpy sauces while providing cost savings and texture improvements. For instance, Citri-Fi's natural composition of soluble and insoluble fiber simulate texture of plant-based materials used in pulpy sauces. Because of this, at low usage levels, citrus fiber creates a more natural mouthfeel versus other ingredients like starches or gums. In addition Citri-Fi citrus fiber creates more thickness in high shear conditions. As a result, less is more. Moreover, Citri-Fi can be labeled as citrus fiber, dried citrus pulp or citrus flour which resonate well in the natural markets.
