As a food producer, you already know that the love of food starts with the palate. When taste, smell and texture combine perfectly to inspire a delighted “Mmmmm”: that’s when consumers become true fans of your products.

Our VITACEL® Citrus Fibre does just that: this multitalent among plant fibres is a 75% dietary fibre concentrate made from partially depectinated citrus fruit peels using premium processes that get the absolute best out of them. Quality and sustainability are thus included.

And VITACEL® Citrus Fibre has a lot more going for it than that:

  • Thanks to the different viscosities of our citrus fibre types, you have maximum flexibility of product design in your production.
  • VITACEL® CF is white, neutral in flavour and helps maintain emulsion stability.
  • VITACEL® CF guarantees high intestinal tolerance and is allergen-free.
  • VITACEL® CF is kosher and halal.
  • And best of all: the high water-binding capacity of VITACEL® Citrus Fibre makes it highly cost-effective.

 

You have the choice of techniques – our Citrus Fibre does it all.

Your machines have power? Including high shear forces? Then you will love the CF 312 and CF 312 F type citrus fibres, which deliver everything you could wish for in terms of viscosity and guarantee the greatest water binding capacity. Or use our CF 210 and CF 210 F grades with outstanding swelling characteristics, and literally take a load off your industrial mixer.

See for yourself: when it comes to shearing, there are no limits to your production processes.

 

About the self-experiment: Dosage 2%, left: t = 30 s, right t = 60 s 

 

 

The fibres also come with our applicable technological know-how.

Do you need help with formulating your recipe? On request, we will gladly provide you with technical information about dosing and processing our citrus fibre variants. Simply send an E-Mail and we will contact you for a personal consultation.

Put our knowledge to good use: let us show you which production parameters are optimal for your process and the food you make. And that’s just one of many things we’re happy to help you with, whether you’re a production newbie or a veteran manufacturer.

 

Start your marketing now: our Citrus Fibre will deliver what you promise.

Trust that every one of our citrus fibres makes the best out of your aqueous systems or water-in-oil emulsions, and your customers can look forward to:

  • Beautifully creamy dairy products or dairy alternatives.
  • Healthy and satisfying sweet or spicy smoothies.
  • Fillings with ideal textures for quality baked goods.
  • Stable and fine sauces or spreads.
  • Tasty & juicy meat products or meat alternatives.

 

Turn even your production advantages into a treat for the taste buds.

VITACEL® CF can be processed cold and highly efficiently. For you, that means:

  • No changes to your established processes.
  • The great mixture of soluble and insoluble fibres promises utmost process stability – even in the most demanding applications.
  • The creamy consistency allows you to reduce sugar and fat at the same time as enriching the dietary fibre content. As a positive side-effect: you improve your Nutri-Score. 
  • Given its fine structure and white colour, it is ideal for white or pale coloured food matrices. That saves you the expensive white colouration of your products and guarantees creamy textures. 
  • Even greater juiciness of meat products and meat alternatives is another benefit of using VITACEL® CF. The positive side-effect: a greater yield for the same input of raw materials. 

 

With our VITACEL® Citrus Fibres, your textures and flavours become perfect for making your brand distinctive and unmistakably “Mmmmm”.

This awaits your costumers

  • Dairy or dairy alternative products such as ice creams that leave no wish unfulfilled when it comes to sensation, even after the first thaw. Thanks to our VITACEL® CF, the ice crystals in an ice cream remain stable for much longer. This guarantees a gourmet glacé experience even after the second or third dip into the freezer for appreciably longer lasting deliciousness. 
  • Gorgeous cream-filled baked goods that taste good even the next day, as though fresh from the oven. Again, our VITACEL® CF guarantees that extra freshness and crispy deliciousness that leaves nothing to be desired.
