Australian Citrus Fibre

Powdered citrus fibre is a nutrient-dense, high-fibre, and antioxidant-rich byproduct of the juice industry that has become a valuable functional ingredient in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries. It is created by drying and grinding the peel, pulp, and seeds left behind after juice extraction.

Extracta Premium citrus fibre is 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.

Sustainability

Our citrus fibre is produced through an upcycling process that transforms Australian citrus processing by-products into a valuable functional ingredient, supporting circular economy principles and reducing food waste.

Australian citrus fibre is considered superior to many imported alternatives primarily due to its high-quality sourcing, clean-label processing, and the natural, unbleached, or lightly processed state of the material. The colour is typically not pure white because it is derived from the natural, nutrient-dense, and fibrous peels of Australian citrus.
