What is Citrus Fiber?

Based on the concept of sustainability and entire utilization, citrus fibre is a plant-based food raw material (not a food additive), obtained 100% from citrus peels. Citrus fibre is a white powder with a neutral feel, rich in dietary fibre (dietary fibre consists of soluble and insoluble dietary fibre), with a total dietary fibre content of >75%.

Citrus fibre can be widely used in baked goods, meat products (including plant-based meat), sauces, dairy products, beverages, health care products, and many other fields.

What is Citrus Fibre Made From?

Citrus fibre has a rich source of raw materials to ensure a stable supply
