Fiberstar is an emerging global leader in creating and marketing innovative bio-ingredients derived from plant cell wall materials. Fiberstar holds an exclusive worldwide license for the manufacture, distribution and sale of two branded and globally sold, all-natural patented functional ingredients manufactured from citrus pulp: Citri-Fi®, a food ingredient, and Imulsi-Fi™, a cosmetic ingredient. Both are used to improve the cost, quality, nutrition or label declarations of a wide range of food and cosmetic products, respectively. Citri-Fi and Imulsi-Fi products are currently produced at Fiberstar’s manufacturing facility located near Clewiston, Florida and sold in 65 countries throughout the world.
Food manufacturers use Citri-Fi products to improve the profit margins, quality, nutrition, and ingredient declarations of their food products. When food manufacturers and processors use Citri-Fi to bind moisture; partially replace higher priced ingredients such as oil, fat, eggs and meat; replace phosphates (to reduce salt content); synergize with phosphates and carrageenans; or emulsify and stabilize their products, they enjoy one or more of the following benefits: lower costs; lower cooking and baking losses; higher yields; higher margins; reduced purge; reduced moisture migration during storage; less ice crystal formation; less syneresis upon thawing; improved emulsification and stabilization; enhanced palatability and texture; cleaner ingredient labels; fewer calories; and improved nutritional declarations.

Imulsi-Fi products are primarily used to provide all-natural emulsion thickening and stabilization functionalities for the cosmetic industry. When cosmetic manufacturers use Imulsi-Fi, they experience the benefits of lower costs, excellent emulsion stability, and improved label declarations.
