Often, it‘s the simplest ideas that spark a change. The use of healthy dietary fibres to enrich foods and the drive to be more careful with food resources were two such ideas – and these concepts are now more relevant than ever before in the food industry. Fibre-rich and highly functional fruit fibres satisfy these requirements and can be used to sustainably increase the value of your products.
Herbacel - AQ Plus Citrus is a citrus fibre which is produced from freshly harvested citrus fruits which are gently dried after extracting the juice. The fibres are manufactured using a special production process and convince by neutral sensory properties and a neutral visual appearance, combined with exceptional functionality. With a water-binding capacity of around 25 g/g (Fig. 1), even small dosages can have a great effect.
Thanks to its functional and emulsifying properties, citrus fibre – which is free from E-numbers – can replace conventional thickening agents, emulsifiers and stabilisers – making it easy for you to produce clean-label products or shorten your ingredients lists.
Citrus fibre can be used to create convenient textures suitable for a range of products, including high-quality as well as reduced-calorie foods – so you can easily reduce fat content while re-taining typical product characteristics. Thanks to its high water-binding and emulsifying capacity, the product can be used in a diverse range of foods (see table on page 4).
The application of mechanical energy further increases the water-binding capacity of Herbacel - AQ Plus Citrus (Fig. 2).
In addition to the benefits of the high functionality of citrus fibres, their high dietary fibre content (approx. 90 %) means that they also have a positive effect on the nutritional value of your product. Herbacel - AQ Plus Citrus can help you create a nutritional and healthy product.
Herbacel - AQ Plus Citrus is a citrus fibre that meets your requirements as a manufacturer and the high standards of your consumers.
