Comparisons of Various Citrus Fiber Mixing Methods

There are various methods to use to hydrate Citri-Fi citrus fiber. The key is to make sure that the citrus fiber is mixed properly to activate the full functionality. Shearing methods include immersion blender, propeller mixer, hand mix, IKA T25 dispenser, countertop blender and high-pressure homogenizer. Each mixing method varies in shear force. For instance, increasing shear force correlates to Citri-Fi's higher viscosity. Each citrus fiber mixing method corresponds to potential industry scenarios. To achieve full functionality, Citri-Fi performs best in high shear conditions. This not only improves the functionality, but also, it reduces the citrus fiber's usage rate.
