LBG Sicilia Ingredients

This fiber is a naturally derived functional ingredient.

Our CITRIFIBER™ is made from the by-product of citrus fruit peels to create an E-number free solution. CITRIFIBER also helps to reduce salt, sugar and/or fat for a wide range of products.

CITRIFIBER™ is a functional ingredient composed by soluble (pectin) and insoluble (cellulose and hemicellulose) fibers.
