Fiberstar, Inc. launches new organic citrus fibers for food & beverages

Fiberstar, Inc., a developer of innovative citrus fibers launched a line of new organic citrus fibers: Citri- Fi^® 400 series.

These new citrus fibers are in response to the increasing demand for natural, sustainable and organic food ingredients. Market drivers fueling the uptick in demand include a growth in consumer health and wellness initiatives, limited availability of hydrocolloids due to supply chain challenges and increased visibility of sustainable business practices.

Citri-Fi 400 organic series is a byproduct of the citrus juicing process. The fibrous composition of insoluble and soluble fiber, in the form of intact native pectin, provides water holding and emulsification properties with a pleasant mouthfeel. Applications include bakery, dairy, processed meats, dressings, sauces, and frozen foods in addition to plant-based foods like meat substitutes and dairy alternatives.

Citri-Fi 400 is USDA certified organic and certified as an organic source by the European Union. This upcycled organic citrus fiber series is non-GMO, non-allergenic, and gluten-free.
