Optimized and sugar-reduced orange juice drinks – Perfect mouthfeel using multifunctional fruit fibers

Natural functional apple and citrus fibers, which offer excellent functional properties, are part of the Herbafood portfolio. They are particularly useful for adjusting mouthfeel and viscosity of fruit juicebased beverages. Due to the high waterbinding capacity, even a small amount of a fruit fiber can significantly impact the viscosity of the drink. Our multifunctional fruit fibers can thus contribute to an optimization of your juice beverage both in terms of calories and costs. Beverages made with apple or citrus fiber have an enhanced flavor profile and a delightful fruity mouthfeel. The optimal fiber dosage for different fruit concentrations, specifically to reduce the content of concentrated orange juice, has been determined to ensure that the desired juice texture was achieved.
