Australian Citrus Fibre
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
- Excellent water-binding properties — superior gel-forming and water-holding capacity for optimal texture
- Texturising & stabilising — excellent capability for emulsion stability and mouthfeel
- Natural & unbleached — no chemical bleaching, retaining natural nutrients and functionality
- 100% Australian provenance with full traceability
- Clean-label & sustainable — upcycled from Australian citrus processing surplus
- Science-backed functional benefits — clinically relevant functional properties with research support
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.
