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.

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.
