Product description

Finix Citrus Fiber is a revolutionary high-performance powder ingredient derived from upcycled orange peels. Through PeelPioneers’ innovative bio-refinery process, this dietary fiber offers a range of technical functions such as thickening, binding, emulsifying, and water retention—all without imparting any citrus smell or taste.

Perfect for various food applications including meat substitutes, bakery goods, sauces, and beverages, Finix enhances texture, mouthfeel, and shelf life. As a clean-label, plant-based, non-GMO, and gluten-free ingredient, it aligns perfectly with sustainability goals and consumer demands for healthier, eco-friendly products.

Manufactured within 72 hours of orange peel collection, Finix promotes freshness and traceability, ensuring the highest quality standards. Complemented by related products such as cold-pressed oil, D-limonene, and Orangeade, Finix embodies PeelPioneers’ mission to revalorize citrus residues and reduce food waste.

With certifications including GMP+ (2019) and FSSC 22000 (2023), Finix Citrus Fiber meets the highest quality standards for food and feed applications. It empowers manufacturers to embrace circular, eco-friendly raw materials while maintaining functional performance and ingredient integrity.
