Key ingredients and applications:
- Finix Orange Fiber: A versatile, nutrient-rich fiber that serves as a binder, thickener, emulsifier, and water-retention agent. It is odorless and tasteless, making it adaptable across diverse food applications.
- Cold Pressed Oil: Directly extracted and minimally processed oil from orange peels, maintaining purity and natural quality.
- Five Fold Oil: A concentrated oil that can provide food and personal care products with a natural orange aroma.
- D-Limone: A colorless solvent with significant degreasing properties used in cleaning products and personal care products.
