Plant-Based Meat Texture Additives

Fiberstar Citri-Fi TX20 Has a Methylcellulose-Free Profile

— November 29, 2021 — Lifestyle
The Fiberstar Citri-Fi TX20 has been added by the brand to its lineup of methylcellulose-free solutions for plant-based meat alternatives that will provide enhanced texture for a more realistic mouthfeel. The additive is reported by the brand help with firmness levels as well as the recipe's ability to be thickened up while also providing a meat-like texture that doesn't come with much flavor. The citrus-based fiber could help to greatly enhance meat alternatives on the market with greater comparability to actual meat products.

The Fiberstar Citri-Fi TX20 fiber is reported by the brand to have no E number and is suited for being labeled as citrus fiber, citrus flower or dried citrus pulp to further increase its ability to be used in recipes.
