Objectives and Benefits

Citri-Fi products are primarily used to improve profit margins, quality, nutrition, and ingredient declarations. When food manufacturers and processors use Citri-Fi they experience the benefits of lower costs, lower cooking and baking losses, improved yields and profit margins, reduced purge, reduced moisture migration during storage, less ice crystal formation, less syneresis upon thawing, improved thickening and stabilization in food emulsions, enhanced palatability and texture, cleaner ingredient labels, fewer calories, and improved nutritional declarations. Our customers enjoy these benefits by utilizing Citri-Fi's multi-functional properties to bind moisture, partially replace oil, fat, eggs and meat, replace phosphates, synergize with phosphates and kappa carrageenan, thicken and stabilize food emulsions. Often Citri-Fi achieves several of these functions simultaneously. This page outlines how Citri-Fi benefits food manufacturers and processors.

Improved Profit Margins

• Improved yields from tightly binding water to reduce purge, syneresis, drip and evaporation losses
• Lowered costs resulting from partial replacement of higher priced ingredients (eggs, fats, oils, and meats) with Citri-Fi and water
• Lowered costs resulting from replacement of higher priced complex gum and synthetic stabilizer systems
• Lowered energy and labor costs resulting from faster bake and cook times when fats and oils are partially replaced with Citri-Fi and water

Improved Quality and Texture

• Enhanced palatability due to more uniform distribution of moisture in product

• Reduced moisture migration, ice crystal formation and syneresis upon thawing due to tight binding of free water

• Tightly bound water helps maintain freshness and delay staling due to inhibited moisture migration, reduced syneresis and purge

• Improved flavor due to higher retention of natural juices during cooking

• Better texture, mouthfeel and taste when gums are replaced with Citri-Fi

Improved Nutrition and Ingredient Declarations

• All natural labeling

• Citri-Fi is GRAS, non-GMO, non-allergenic and gluten free

• Reduced calories, fat, trans fat and saturated fat from partial replacement of oil and fat

• Cleaner ingredient label when Citri-Fi is used to replace synthetic emulsifier and stabilizer ingredients, phosphates and complex gum systems

• Reduced cholesterol from partial replacement of eggs
