Fiberstar, Inc. Showcases Citri-Fi® Natural Citrus Fibre to Replace Phosphates in Meats

Moreover, another popular method is to use this clean label fibre in combination with sodium carbonate. Sodium carbonate relaxes the animal muscle to allow more water to bind. Meanwhile, Citri-Fi holds onto the water to maintain high yields and reduce purge in meats. Citri-Fi usage ranges between 0.2% to 0.4%. Studies show that injected poultry using Citri-Fi and sodium carbonate together improved yields by more than 4% versus poultry injected with no phosphates. Coincidentally, many meat processors already use sodium carbonate as a processing aid or for other purposes.
