Nature, refined
Citribel is the only genuinely circular producer of citric acid, citrates, and other high-value co-products through natural surface fermentation of sugar molasses.
Essentially circular
Sugar molasses, the sidestreams from sugar refineries, make up the primary raw material for our unique natural production process. The molasses serve as the breeding ground for our Citribel fungus. The fungus creates citric acid and mycelium in the fermentation process. Citrates and other components are produced during further downstream processing. We recycle and upcycle our resources in a myriad of ways, generating a multitude of high-quality circular components
