What is it?

Sugarcane fibre is the fibrous by-product that remains after the extraction of juice from sugarcane stalks.

When we refer to “short length” sugarcane fibre, these are fibres that have been processed to a shorter size for various applications.

Appearance: Sugarcane fibre is a white powder that possesses a neutral odour and taste.

Texture: The short fibres tend to be more uniform in texture, making them suitable for specific applications where consistency is key.

Functionalities

Textural Enhancement – Short length sugarcane fibre can improve the texture of food products by acting as a bulking agent. It provides a fibrous mouthfeel and can help in creating a desirable consistency in baked goods, meat products, and dairy alternatives.

Nutritional Benefits – It is an excellent source of dietary fibre, which is beneficial for digestive health. Including it in food formulations can increase the fibre content, aiding in bowel regularity and promoting a feeling of fullness.

Water Retention and Binding – The high cellulose content in short sugarcane fibres allows them to absorb and retain water, improving moisture retention in food products and maintaining freshness. In non-food applications, this property can help in water management in soil amendments and horticultural products.

Thickening and Stabilising – These fibres can act as thickening agents, improving the viscosity of sauces, soups, and dressings. They also help stabilise emulsions and suspensions, preventing separation in food products.
