Our Company...
Fiberstar, Inc. is a privately owned research and development company focusing on improving food freshness and nutrition through technological innovation. It also operates a manufacturing facility that produces its Citri-Fi® line of products.
Fiberstar holds an exclusive worldwide license for patented bio-technology developed at the University of Minnesota. Its investment in research over the past seven years has led to the development of unique products that will improve the physical and functional characteristics of a wide variety of foods for which industry solutions are currently being sought.
We're Different...
We understand and focus on the ever changing demands of consumers by providing food manufacturers with real solutions that maintain or improve taste, texture and mouthfeel and which are cost effective. The consumers' increasing awareness of health as it relates to food is providing our industry with new challenges which include increasing fiber & whole grains, lowering saturated fat and calories and eliminating trans fats in our products just to name a few. However, those same consumers are not prepared to sacrifice taste and cost in addressing those important issues.
That's why Fiberstar plays a key role! Our carefully developed products help maintain our customers' high standards of quality while respecting the limitations of price. Our goal is to provide functional ingredients which impart an "equal or better than" taste, texture, mouthfeel and cost. These goals guide us in all of our product development.

Citri-Fi® is unique...

| Most innovative food ingredient silver award – FI Europe 2007 |
Citri-Fi®.... unlike any other ingredient.... attracts and binds exceptional levels of water... up to twelve times its own weight which makes Citri-Fi® an excellent tool for moisture management. In addition, Citri-Fi® has a unique ability to mimic fats & oils in taste, mouthfeel and freshness. In recent taste comparisons, bakery professionals chose Citri-Fi's® reduced fat products over full-fat versions by a margin of 8 to 1. Furthermore, those same professionals almost unanimously ranked the Citri-Fi® based products as "equal or better than" control. And because Citri-Fi® effectively binds high levels of water, its cost ranges from neutral to representing a savings in most applications. Citri-Fi® works in bakery applications such as breads, rolls, buns, muffins, cakes, Danishes, donuts, pies, sweet doughs, energy bars and even pizza! Citri-Fi also works in such other diverse applications as salad dressings, salsas, imitation cheese, yogurt, ice cream, meat fillings and frozen foods to bind or manage moisture and/or for fat reduction.
When you specify Citri-Fi® from Fiberstar, you get more than a product and a supplier. You also get an experienced team having an extensive knowledge base capable of aiding you in achieving your product development goals. Fiberstar's lab and testing facilities can quickly provide you with the technical support needed to take your products from concept to the consumer. We are eager to help you improve the freshness and nutrition of your food products while reducing your overall product cost (in most instances). Please give us a call today and let us show you how. |
