Citrus Fiber is a soluble dietary fiber derived from citrus fruit pulp and peel, rich in pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. It functions simultaneously as a prebiotic fiber, natural emulsifier, fat replacer, and texture modifier in food formulations. Its high water-binding capacity and gel-forming properties make it particularly valuable in low-fat, high-fiber, and clean-label functional food applications.
Applications:
- Dietary fiber enrichment in functional food and beverage products
- Natural emulsifier and fat replacer in clean-label formulations
- Prebiotic fiber supplement formulations
- Texture modifier in bakery, dairy, and sauce products
Key Features & Benefits:
- Dual soluble/insoluble fiber — prebiotic and bulking properties
- Natural emulsifier — replaces synthetic emulsifiers in clean-label formulations
- High water-binding capacity for improved texture and mouthfeel
- No animal substance – halal-certified
- Neutral flavour and pale colour — versatile in food applications
