The importance of functional fibers
Versatile and beneficial in the food industry
Our citrus fibres are ideal for binding water, texturizing, emulsifying and stabilizing foods. This makes them a multifunctional natural ingredient.
The high water binding capacity of the fibers leads to an improved texture and consistency of the food. The emulsifying property ensures an even distribution of fat in products such as dressings or sauces.
The citrus fibers are neutral in taste. As a result, they can optimize fat, salt or sugar-reduced alternatives that offer consumers the same organoleptic impressions as conventional products.
Our many years of expertise will help you to find the right functional fiber or their optimal combination for your application. We support you from recipe development through to the claiming of sales-promoting product benefits.
