Australian Citrus Fibre
Australian Citrus Fibre
Premium citrus fibre sourced exclusively from Australian citrus fruits. Our citrus fibre is a clean-label, sustainable ingredient that delivers exceptional water-binding properties and functional benefits for food, beverage, nutraceutical, and pet health applications.
✨ Superior to Imported Bleached Products
Australian citrus fibre is superior to many imported alternatives due to its high-quality sourcing, clean-label processing, and natural, unbleached state. Unlike heavily processed imported fibres that are often bleached to achieve pure white colour, our citrus fibre retains its natural, nutrient-dense composition from Australian citrus peels. The natural colour reflects the authentic, minimally processed nature of the ingredient—delivering better functionality and cleaner labels without chemical treatments.
Citrus fibres are plant-based ingredients derived from the peels of citrus fruits such as oranges and limes. They are gaining popularity in various industries due to their multifunctional properties, which include water retention, emulsification, gelling and many others. These fibres are often upcycled from citrus waste, making them a sustainable choice for modern products. Citrus fibres provide dietary benefits, improve product texture, and contribute to a clean-label solution, meeting the growing demand for natural and eco-friendly ingredients.
Thanks to our direct access to the fruits and state-of-the-art processes, we can use all that nature provides: fruit cells, as well as oils, distillates and other side streams to engineer first-class ingredients for our fruit blends and compound solutions.
