Explore the possibilities and benefits of the first Australian citrus fibre ingredient. Citrus Fibre is a new environmentally friendly ingredient alternative to PEG-based and synthetic emulsifiers. This sustainable ingredient is suitable for non-GMO, vegan, Kosher & Halal products.

It is colourless, odourless and retains moisture in food applications such as reformed meats. Due to its lipophilic properties, it is a natural emulsifier when wet.

This versatile product is suitable for Keto-friendly and gluten-free applications such as baked goods, plant-based dairy and meat, conventional meats, nutraceutical products, sauces and marinades. It also works well with “reformed meat” applications such as meatballs and hotdogs. Moisture retention and yield increase are higher with Citrus Fibre and in bakery applications such as bread, cakes and muffins, it produces 15% higher yields.

Extracta's citrus fibre meets "clean-label" requirements for finished products, as it can replace starches, gums, carrageenan, pectin, allergens, hydrogenated fats, phosphates, emulsifiers, and chemical stabilisers across a wide range of formulations.

As the leading supplier of Australian citrus fibre, Extracta can provide high-quality citrus fibre powder with stable supply.

Emulsification

Natural Emulsifier: Citrus fibre acts as a natural emulsifier, helping to blend and stabilise mixtures of oil and water. This is particularly useful in products like mayonnaise, salad dressings, and sauces, where it ensures a smooth and consistent texture.
No alteration on flavours, no aroma masking. Has almost no odour or taste of its own.

Reduced Oil Requirements

Oil Reduction: By improving the emulsification process, citrus fibre allows for a reduction in the amount of oil needed in condiments. This can lead to lower calorie content and a healthier product without compromising on mouthfeel and flavour.

Texture Enhancement

Improved Texture: Citrus fibre adds body and viscosity to condiments, giving them a desirable thickness and creaminess. It helps maintain a stable and appealing texture over time, preventing separation and sedimentation.

Nutritional Benefits

Dietary Fibre: Adding citrus fibre boosts the dietary fibre content of condiments, offering additional health benefits such as improved digestion and satiety. This can be a key selling point for health-conscious consumers.

Clean Label

Natural Ingredient: As a natural, plant-based ingredient, citrus fibre aligns with the clean label trend. It allows manufacturers to produce condiments with fewer artificial additives and preservatives, appealing to consumers seeking natural and wholesome products.

Shelf Life Extension

Shelf Stability: Citrus fibre can enhance the shelf stability of condiments by improving water-binding capacity and reducing syneresis (water release). This helps maintain product quality and extends shelf life.

Cost Efficiency

Cost-Effective: By reducing the need for expensive oils and synthetic stabilisers, citrus fibre can be a cost-effective ingredient, helping manufacturers manage production costs while maintaining high product quality.

Extracta's citrus fibre contains 95% dietary fibre and 46% pectin. Through a patented process that removes oils and sugars, the fibre content is maximised. It is available in a fine powder with an approximate mesh size of 100.

Made from upcycled citrus peel, the product is free from pulp or rag. It can also replace starches, allergens, and chemical stabilisers in various food formulations.

In summary, citrus fibre is a versatile and valuable ingredient in condiment formulation, offering benefits such as improved emulsification, reduced oil requirements, enhanced texture, added nutritional value, clean label appeal, extended shelf life, and cost efficiency.
