Thicken Naturally . . .

Natural ingredients are the number one prediction for 2008 by a number of food trend-watching organizations globally.
If you’re looking for a natural thickening agent with very high water holding capacity, viscosity that is unaffected by high heat, shear or acid conditions and gives very little flavour masking, Herbacel AQ Plus Citrus Fibre is worth trialing in your product.
As a fine particle size fibre, Herbacel AQ Plus Citrus Fibre gives a very smooth texture, so it’s ideal for use in applications such as low fat mayonnaise and ice cream. It has a very neutral taste and is easily dispersed.
It has 90 % fibre content, 20 % being soluble fibre. It’s unique property is a very high water holding capacity compared to standard citrus fibres, which makes it a very cost effective means of adding mouthfeel and stabilizing texture.
