Emulsion Stability: Citrus fibre helps to blend and stabilize mixtures of oil and water. This is beneficial in products like salad dressings, mayonnaise, and creamy sauces, where a stable emulsion is essential.

Texture Enhancement: Improves the texture and mouthfeel of various products.

Nutritional Enrichment: Adding citrus fibre increases the dietary fibre content of foods, contributing to improved digestive health.
