Texturizing plant-based meat alternatives with Citrus Fiber

29 Aug 2023

At Herbafood, we are certain that the shift towards plant-based eating will continue to play a major role in human nutrition. Consumers are looking for more sustainable products and for a wider variety by plant-based alternatives in their daily nutrition. New ingredients and production methods facilitate to mimic the taste, texture and consistency.

Our recommendation for texturizing plant-based meat alternatives: Herbacel® AQ® Plus Citrus.

Properties of multifunctional citrus fibre Herbacel® AQ® Plus Citrus in plant-based meat products:

  • Texturising
  • High water-binding
  • Emulsifying properties
  • Clean label

In combination with methyl cellulose, additional functional advantages such as better form stability, can be highlighted for minced-meat products, plant-based chicken alternatives or vegetable cold cuts. Even in high-water or low-fat formulations, Herbacel® AQ® Plus Citrus supports a juicy taste and a natural texture of your plant-based meat products.
