Description
Louis Francois Citrus Fibre is a natural plant-based texturizer and stabilizer made from citrus peels. It helps improve mouthfeel, water retention, suspension, and gloss while keeping a clean-label profile. It is especially useful in acidic recipes, emulsions, beverages, bakery, and plant-based applications where you want better texture without a heavy or artificial feel.
Use
Disperse gradually into hot or cold preparations while stirring, or premix with other dry ingredients to reduce clumping. Its strong hydration capacity helps support both water binding and emulsion stability across a wide range of recipes.
Recommended Dosage
- Texturizing / water absorption: 1.0–2.0%
- Emulsion stabilization: 0.5%
Adjust to suit the recipe and the texture you want.
Applications / Practical Uses
- Stabilizes pulp and improves mouthfeel in juices and beverages
- Adds body and shine to sauces, dressings, emulsions, and fruit glazes
- Improves moisture retention in bakery and gluten-free doughs
- Supports structure in fruit preparations, purées, and soft gels
- Helps create smoother textures in plant-based dairy or meat alternatives
- Useful in vegan mayonnaise, fibre-enriched sauces, and suspended beverage systems
Observations
White to light brownish powder with a mild citrus aroma and a neutral taste. It has high water-binding capacity and helps improve shine, suspension, and texture. It is plant-based, clean-label, and allergen-free.
Differences from Other Ingredients
Compared with many vegetable fibres, Citrus Fibre offers better performance in acidic systems and can deliver good suspension and gloss at relatively low usage. It is a strong choice when you want a more refined texture and clean-label stabilization in low-pH or plant-based formulations.
Origin
Natural fibre extracted from citrus peels, typically orange and lemon.
