6 Reasons Why Citrus Fiber is A-peeling to Food & Bev Formulators
1. Start With an Upcycled Ingredient
It all starts with an abundant supply of sustainably sourced citrus peels, a byproduct of the juice industry. Citrus peels have a high pectin content. In addition, this novel composition of soluble and insoluble fiber has excellent water-holding capacity. It’s a win-win for consumers and formulators alike.
2. It Supports a Range of Clean Label-Friendly Solutions
NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber was developed to support your clean label goals:
- Supports fat reduction
- Supports sugar reduction
- Egg substitution/vegan formulations
- No E-number required in Europe
- Can help you meet requirements for kosher, halal, vegan, non-GMO, allergen- & gluten-free food products
- Can be listed as citrus fiber on the label*
*National labeling requirements should be considered in the country of use
3. The Possibilities–and Applications–Are Endless
NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber supports water-holding, texture, mouthfeel enhancement, emulsion stabilization and syneresis control in a wide range of applications and can be used in combination with other CP Kelco portfolio offerings.
