Fiberstar’s Citri-Fi Organic 400 Line: Elevating Food Innovation with Enhanced Texture
In the dynamic world of food product development, the pursuit of innovative ingredients that enhance both the nutritional profile and sensory experience of food products is paramount. Fiberstar, a leading provider of natural fiber solutions, continues to push the boundaries with their latest release of their improved Citri-Fi 400 Organic Line. This organic line is much closer to that of the 600 line, with improved viscosity and a neutral taste profile. Building upon the success of their Citri-Fi range, Fiberstar’s new and improved line seeks to aid customers in the food industry by offering enhanced texture and stability.
What sets Fiberstar’s new Citri-Fi 400 Organic Line apart? At its core lies Citri-Fi, a natural, citrus-based fiber derived from citrus fruit. This unique ingredient is created through a patented process that transforms citrus fruit into a functional fiber matrix rich in pectin and insoluble fiber. Fiberstar’s proprietary technology preserves the natural structure of citrus fibers, resulting in a versatile ingredient with exceptional water-binding, emulsifying, and gelling properties.
The Citri-Fi 400 Line represents the next evolution of Fiberstar’s commitment to innovation and excellence. By leveraging advanced processing techniques and formulation expertise, Fiberstar has enhanced the functionality and performance of Citri-Fi across a diverse range of food applications. From dairy and plant-based alternatives to bakery and meat products, the Citri-Fi 400 Organic Line delivers unmatched texture, mouthfeel, and stability, allowing food manufacturers to create indulgent, satisfying foods without compromising on quality or taste.
Functionality and Sustainability
A key advantage of Fiberstar’s Citri-Fi 400 Line is its ability to improve the texture and stability of a variety of food and beverages. This new line can replace chemical and/or synthetic ingredients while not diminishing a food product’s quality. Its properties also allow it to be highly food process stable compared to other native starches on the market. Other key benefits include high water holding capacity, emulsification properties, and gelling properties. Citri-Fi can be blended with other dry ingredients, mixed with oil before hydration if used for emulsification, or incorporated using a high-speed mixer. Key claims for this line include being non-GMO certified, gluten-free/non-allergenic, and plant-based, to name a few.
Fiberstar is committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship, and the Citri-Fi 400 Line reflects this dedication. Citri-Fi is derived from citrus fruit, a byproduct of the juice industry that would otherwise be discarded or used for animal feed. By repurposing citrus byproducts into valuable food ingredients, Fiberstar helps reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact of food production.
Fiberstar’s Citri-Fi Organic 400 Line represents a significant advancement in the field of organic fiber solutions, offering food manufacturers an innovative tool to enhance the texture and sustainability of their products. Whether you’re developing creamy plant-based yogurts, indulgent ice creams, or hearty whole-grain breads, Fiberstar’s Citri-Fi Organic 400 Line provides the foundation for creating foods that are not only delicious and satisfying but also environmentally responsible.
