Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of specialty ingredient solutions and innovator of clean label ingredients for the food and beverage industry, today announced the EMEA launch of FIBERTEX® CF 500 & FIBERTEX® CF 100 multi-benefit citrus fibres, that provide enhanced texturising properties and a clean label for consumer-preferred products. These products will be available in APAC in August, by the end of the year in the U.S. and Canada, with LATAM to follow.

“These new citrus fibres are the perfect solution for brands looking to leverage naturally sourced, consumer-preferred ingredients that support clean labels, desired packaging claims, and sustainability goals — all while providing value for money. By using these fibres, brands can reduce or replace less consumer-accepted ingredients while still maintaining great taste and texture. It’s a win-win for manufacturers and consumers alike,” said Constantin Drapatz, business manager of EMEA Texture Solutions, Ingredion.

Drapatz adds, “Consumers continue to turn away from traditional additives and unrecognisable ingredients, attracted by products with naturally sourced, authentic components, improved nutrition and appealing packaging claims. I am excited to expand our clean label offering with new functionalities and value propositions. These new citrus fibres can easily be combined with our NOVATION® functional native starches, increasing the scope of customer problems to solve.”

The minimally processed, upcycled citrus fibres represent Ingredion’s continued commitment to clean label product innovation and provide superior viscosifying power, gelling, and improved emulsion and texture stability over shelf-life. FIBERTEX® CF 500 & FIBERTEX® CF 100 are cost-effective, consumer-preferred clean label options. Derived from upcycled citrus peels, the ingredients also support popular on-pack claims, including “derived from natural sources,” non-GMO, “fruit-based,” “source of/high in dietary fibre” and others, all of which have been indicators of clean label and consumer willingness to pay more.

Drapatz added: “Having an expanding range of healthy, clean label products on shelf that deliver value for money, retailers can retain and grow in-store traffic. Clean label product ranges with enhanced transparency and sustainability create brand value and trust for both retailers and manufacturers. Consumers trust and spend more of their share of wallet at retailers that offer clean label food and beverages, and those consumers return for repeat purchases.”

While citrus fibres have traditionally had a limited range of applications, FIBERTEX® CF 500 & FIBERTEX® CF 100 multi-benefit citrus fibres can fully or partially replace more expensive and volatile ingredients like egg, oil, and tomato solids to mitigate cost and supply challenges without compromising texture, stability and eating experience in a range of applications, including savoury, dairy, alternative dairy, confectionery, bakery, meat, and alternative meat.

“Vegan products usually contain a series of additives to mimic ingredients such as eggs, resulting in a long and complex ingredient list. The power of our FIBERTEX® multi-benefit citrus fibres comes from their natural dietary fibre composition and inherent functionality to emulsify and bind water, which in turn provides thickness and texture stability – without the need to use egg,” said Julika Baseda, global R&D program manager, Ingredion. 

According to Ingredion’s 2023 ATLAS proprietary consumer research, 99 percent of European manufacturers believe clean-label products are essential to their business strategy. Plus, citrus fibres continue to grow in popularity as an ingredient option among consumers, with 85 percent globally claiming they accept and like them on their label. The same proprietary research indicates that what’s on the label is also growing in importance, with 79 percent of global consumers stating they want to recognise a product’s ingredients and 50 percent claiming they are checking food ingredients more than last year. 

Further information on the benefits and potential applications of FIBERTEX® CF 500 & FIBERTEX® CF 100 multi-benefit citrus fibres, as well as other Ingredion clean label offerings, can be found on the Ingredion website.
