Cellulose Fiber
Water-Binding and Bulking Plant Fibre
Cellulose fibre is a tasteless, odourless, white functional fibre purified from plant cell walls (usually wood or plant sources). Grades with 90–200 micron fibre length are used for water binding, bulking and texture control in meat and bakery products, for anti-caking in shredded cheese and for fibre enrichment in low-calorie and high-fibre products. It holds several times its weight in water and improves cooking yield. PERDIST compares fibre length, cellulose purity, water-holding capacity, whiteness and microbiological values against the supplier specification for wholesale cellulose fibre requests and offers different fibre lengths with their documents. For wholesale cellulose fiber PERDIST proposes a lot from your preferred fineness and water-binding expectation; a sample and the technical sheet accompany the quotation. For meat, bakery and cheese producers, packaging and delivery follow the production calendar. Different fineness grades can be compared in trial runs.
Product and Application Details
| Product definition | Purified plant-derived cellulose fibre (falls under E460 powdered cellulose); typical average fibre lengths 90 µm and 200 µm. |
|---|---|
| Typical properties | Cellulose ≥ 99%, moisture ≤ 8%, whiteness ≥ 85%, water-holding capacity 1:5–1:8, average fibre length 90 or 200 µm, tasteless and odourless. Values vary by supplier specification. |
| Applications | Sausages, cold cuts and meatballs, bread and bakery, shredded cheese (anti-caking), diet and low-calorie products, ready sauces and fillings, pet food. |
| Formulation note | Long fibres (200 µm) give higher water binding and structure, short fibres (90 µm) a smoother texture. Typical usage 1–3% in meat, 2–5% in bakery, 1–2% in cheese. |
| Documents | Specification, COA, allergen and non-GMO statements and origin document are shared with the quotation to the extent the supplier provides them; halal and kosher certificates are checked per product. |
