A process is disclosed for modifying citrus fiber. Citrus fiber is obtained having a c* close packing concentration value of less than 3.8 w %, anhydrous basis. The citrus fiber can have a viscosity of at least 1000 mPa.Math.s, wherein said citrus fiber is dispersed in standardized water at a mixing speed of from 800 rpm to 1000 rpm, to a 3 w/w % citrus fiber/standardized water solution, and wherein said viscosity is measured at a shear rate of 5 s1 at 20 C. Citrus fiber can be obtained having a CIELAB L* value of at least 90. The citrus fiber can be used in food products, feed products, beverages, personal care products, pharmaceutical products or detergent products.

The invention relates to a pomace-based dough product preferrably produced including a vegetable proportion based on one or more pomaces of at least 20%, preferably at least 30% and more preferably at least 40% in the dry mass of the dough product, wherein the dough product has a carbohydrate proportion (abs.) of less than 20%, preferably less than 10% and more preferably less than 5%.

The present invention relates to the technical field of foods and additives that are derived from edible plants. Particularly, the present invention relates to a method for obtaining a product rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber and other nutrients from by-products of edible plants such as dehydrated pulps and juices derived from fruits and vegetables, obtaining thus a first liquid product (first liquid phase), a second liquid product (second liquid phase), and a first and second solid phases, all of them with multiple beneficial health properties. One of the main effects observed when an individual consumes these products, is a normalization in the levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and HDL, and the body weight of this individual is maintained even when under a regime of fat diet.

The present invention relates to dry citrus fibers having a moisture content of at most 20 wt % relative to the total amount of citrus fiber and having a storage modulus (G) of at least 280 Pa, wherein said dry citrus fibers have a pH of between 4.0 and 8.7.
