Citrus Fiber Description
Citrus Fiber is a kind of citrus fiber. The raw material is the residue of citrus fruits such as orange and lemon, which are juiced and degreased. After special technology, the structure of the fiber is sufficiently opened to form a porous microstructure, which is combined by multiple binding mechanisms (lipophilic binding of protein and fat, surface tension, etc.) to retain more moisture and oil.
Product features and advantages
It has good water retention, oil retention and swellability, which can bring a full, natural and thick taste to the product, and can replace a variety of thickeners and emulsifiers. It has the following advantages during applications:
a. Product quality improvement. Effectively increase the thickness and fullness of the product; release the aroma and flavor well and natural; have a full taste close to fat.
b. Excellent processing characteristics
Cold water operation can be carried out without hot water or pretreatment, and can be directly applied; acid, heat and shear resistance.
c. Stability improvement
Excellent water retention can significantly improve water analysis; can improve the emulsification effect; freeze-resistant, stable after freezing and thawing; prevent product moisture loss, preservation period, ice melting speed, cooking loss, foam stability help.
d. The new mainstream of health concept
No added concept, product label is cleaner; more stable, better low fat products; up to 70% fiber content.

Usage Method
1. Mix citrus fibers and other pre-mixed ingredients together, then carry out , so that normal operations, the best effect can be achieved. Without high-speed stirring, it can be dispersed in room temperature water.
2. If the taste and texture are acceptable, but free water still exists, need to retest again. Gradually increase the amount of citrus fiber until all free water is absorbed or sensory characteristics are unacceptable. If the sensory characteristics are not good, the citrus fiber should be gradually reduced until acceptable.
3. If the texture is rough or granular, choose a finer grinding particle size until these characteristics are acceptable.
