Australian Citrus Fibre - AustCitrFbr
Premium water-binding fibre from Australian citrus
HACCP-Accredited Facility · 100% Australian Grown · Full Batch Traceability · Circular Economy Ingredient
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. Unlike heavily processed imported fibres that are often bleached to achieve a pure white colour, our citrus fibre retains its natural, nutrient-dense composition and unbleached state — delivering better functionality and a cleaner label without chemical treatment.
Key Features & Benefits
- Exceptional water-binding and moisture retention — supports gel formation, improved texture, structure and product stability.
- Natural texturising and stabilising functionality — supports viscosity, emulsion stability and desirable mouthfeel across a wide range of formulations.
- Clean-label ingredient replacement — can reduce reliance on selected gums, stabilisers, emulsifiers and other highly processed formulation aids.
- Supports healthier reformulation — enables fibre enrichment and can assist with fat, oil and egg reduction while helping maintain texture and eating quality.
- Naturally rich in dietary fibre — adds nutritional value alongside functional formulation benefits.
- Natural and unbleached — gently processed without chemical bleaching, preserving the inherent characteristics of the citrus material.
- 100% Australian provenance and traceability — sourced from Australian citrus and manufactured locally with supply-chain transparency.
- Upcycled and circular by design — transforms Australian citrus processing surplus into a valuable functional ingredient, with applications across food, beverages, plant-based products and potentially personal care and industrial formulations.
Applications
- Bakery products — high water-holding capacity retains moisture longer, keeping products fresher over time
- Meat & plant-based alternatives — enhances cooking yield and reduces fat content through excellent water-holding and fat-binding properties
- Sauces & condiments — enhances thickness, emulsification, and stability while preventing phase separation
- Beverages — improves texture, suspension, and cloud stability in protein drinks and fruit juices
- Dairy & alternatives — enhances creaminess, prevents syneresis, and improves mouthfeel in yogurts and drinks
- Nutraceutical supplements — multi-functional ingredient for digestive health, metabolic support, and antioxidant intake
- Pet health products — improves moisture retention, texture, and digestive health in pet food formulations

Sustainability & Quality
Citrus fibre enhances traditional fibres with superior functionality and versatility, serving food, cosmetic, and animal nutrition sectors. Its thickening, emulsifying, fat-reduction, and freeze-thaw stability properties make it ideal for yogurts, sauces, dairy alternatives, and pet food.
Our citrus fibre is produced through an upcycling process that transforms Australian citrus processing surplus into a valuable functional ingredient, supporting circular economy principles and reducing food waste.
