USDA Certified Organic Citrus Fiber

The new Citri-Fi 400 organic citrus fiber series is an upcycled fiber produced from byproduct of the citrus juicing process. Due to its high water holding and emulsification properties, this natural ingredient provides similar benefits as the flagship 100 citrus fiber series. For instance, the new organic line improves texture and stability in a variety of food and beverages. These include bakery, beverage, dairy, processed meats, frozen foods and sauces. Moreover, this new series also benefits plant-based foods such as dairy alternatives and meat substitutes.

Usage Guidelines

The portfolio includes two products - 400FG and 400M40 - which are differentiated by particle size. The 400 organic citrus fiber series provides the dual functionality at low usage levels (<1%). To incorporate, Citri-Fi can be blended with other dry ingredients, mixed with oil before hydration if used for emulsification or incorporated using a high-speed mixer.

Starch and Other Hydrocolloid Alternative

Due to Citri-Fi 400's high water holding and emulsification properties, this natural ingredient provides more food process stability. As a result, these organic citrus fibers outperform native (unmodified) food starches. Additionally, Citri-Fi contributes dietary fiber unlike native starch. The functional benefits and fiber contribution improve the Nutri-Score of many food products.

Clean Label, Sustainable and Upcycled Citrus Fiber

Today, environmental and health concerns spurred interest in more sustainable ingredients. As a result, Citri-Fi 400 organic citrus fiber is an ideal fit for those food manufacturers seeking more natural food ingredients. Not only is the 400 product line sustainable but also clean label. Labelling options include citrus fiber, dried citrus pulp or citrus flour which resonate well in the natural markets. The Citri-Fi 400 series is non-GMO project certified, gluten-free and allergen-free. Moreover, this new series has no E-number which regions like Europe prefer.
