Citrus fiber is derived from lemon peel by selecting, crushing and fractionation. Non-fibrous compounds such as plant sugars are carefully removed using several purification steps in which the natural cell wall structure is kept practically intact. This process leads to products that are neutral in taste and texture with a high nutritional value.
