What is Vitacel AF12K
Vitacel AF12K is a functional citrus fibre derived from natural plant sources, offering a clean label solution for food manufacturers looking to improve product quality and consistency. With its outstanding water-binding and stabilising properties, it helps retain moisture, improve mouthfeel and extend shelf life without the need for artificial additives.
This versatile ingredient is particularly valued for its ability to replace or reduce traditional hydrocolloids, fats or emulsifiers while maintaining the desired texture and structure in finished products. It is neutral in taste and colour, making it suitable for a broad range of formulations where maintaining the original flavour profile is essential.
Vitacel AF12K supports modern food trends such as clean label, plant-based and fibre enrichment, giving manufacturers flexibility to meet evolving consumer demands without compromising on performance.

Applications & Functionalities
Vitacel AF12K is widely used across multiple food categories due to its multifunctional performance. It acts as a water-binding agent, stabiliser and texturiser, helping to improve yield and maintain product integrity during processing and storage. In processed meat and plant-based products, it enhances juiciness and reduces cooking loss. In bakery applications, it improves dough handling, crumb structure and freshness. For sauces and ready meals, it stabilises emulsions and prevents separation, delivering a smooth and consistent texture. Additionally, Vitacel AF12K can support fat reduction strategies and fibre enrichment, allowing manufacturers to develop healthier formulations while maintaining desirable sensory characteristics.
