Citrus Fiber Benefits in Dressings and Sauces

Citri-Fi® citrus fiber provides high water-holding and oil binding in dressings and sauces. As a result, these key natural functionalities sets itself apart from other clean label stabilizers in the market.

Natural Emulsion Stability and Clean Label

This citrus fiber binds oil and water binding to provide oil-in-water emulsion stability in products like egg-free mayonnaise or clean label mayonnaise. These emulsification properties improve the quality of foods like condiments, gravies, dips and relishes. For instance, at low usage levels (<1%), this natural citrus fiber improves syneresis control, acid stability and viscosity control. And it is highly tolerant of harsh food processing conditions. Moreover, Citri-Fi also replaces ingredients like gums, starches or chemical stabilizers to clean up food product labeling.

Tomato Paste Extender

For instance, this natural citrus fiber can extend tomato paste up to 50% in sauces and condiments like pasta sauce, pizza sauce and BBQ sauce while maintaining natural tomato-like texture. And in addition to the texture, Citri-Fi, when used as a tomato paste extender, provides reduced yield stress and offers significant cost savings in certain markets.

Excellent Freeze-thaw Stability in Sauces and Soups

Another key desired benefit in dressings, sauces and soups is freeze/thaw stability. Yet, due to Citri-Fi's high water-holding and oil binding power, this natural ingredient provides freeze-thaw stability. As a result, the food products taste and texture are preserved.

Citri-Fi citrus fiber provides the following benefits in dressings such as mayonnaise, pour-able dressings, ranch dressings, spoon-able dressings, soups, pulpy sauces and vinaigrettes:
