Differences between Citrus Fibers

(一）The difference in citrus fiber properties is the difference in raw materials and processing technology.

Ο Citrus is the collective name for plants of the Citrinae subfamily of the Aurantioideae family of the Rutaceae family. Mainly include orange, lemon, pomelo, tangerine, mandarin, etc.

Ο Citrus fruits undergo different physical processes that give citrus fibers different properties.

Citrus peel—Grinding and cleaning—Soaking and separating—Wash with water/alcohol—desiccation—smash—package

（二）The water absorption capacity of the insoluble components of citrus fiber is an important indicator of the difference in citrus fiber, but it cannot fully characterize the application effect.

（三）Other indicators of citrus fiber have little impact on the properties of citrus fiber solution, but have a greater impact on the application effect of citrus fiber.

（四）For example: for the thickening needs of different products, ingredient composition is an important influencing factor
