SaporePuro citrus fiber is a natural thickener obtained from citrus fruits.
(Lemon fiber can often be found on the label).
This fiber is obtained from freshly harvested citrus fruits and then subjected to a gentle drying process after the juice and oils have been extracted. The result is a fine cream-colored powder, devoid of odor and taste, but with a remarkable ability to bind water. In addition, it can be easily dispersed in both cold and hot systems.
Saporepuro citrus fiber has many applications in the ice cream and pastry industry. Here are some possible uses:
-
Creamy ice cream: Citrus fiber can be used as a thickener to impart a creamy, velvety texture to ice cream. Adding the fiber during the preparation of the ice cream base provides greater stability and better water retention, preventing the formation of unwanted ice crystals.
-
Sorbets and slushies: Lemon fiber can be used to improve the texture of sorbets and slushies, giving a firmer texture and excellent sensory performance. The fiber's ability to bind water contributes to a creamier, silkier final product.
-
Pastry: Citrus fiber can be used as a thickener in various pastry preparations, such as creams, mousses, and spoon desserts. Added to pastry creams, for example, lemon fiber helps achieve a more stable consistency and better hold.
-
Baking: In addition, lemon fiber can also be used in the production of bread and baked goods. Its ability to bind water helps retain moisture within the finished product, prolonging freshness and improving texture.
Dosage: Recommended between 5% and 10%
