Citribel is a European manufacturer based in Belgium that transforms sugar molasses into citric acid, citrate salts and mycelium ingredients through natural surface fermentation.
With decades of expertise and large-scale production capacity, we supply bulk volumes to food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, personal care, animal nutrition and industrial markets worldwide.
Our portfolio includes citric acid (anhydrous, monohydrate and solutions), trisodium citrate and monosodium citrate, produced according to strict quality standards and supported by a circular manufacturing approach.
European Production
Through natural surface fermentation, we manufacture citric acid, trisodium citrate and monosodium citrate with consistent quality and large-scale production capacity. Our circular approach supports responsible manufacturing while meeting global industry standards.
Circular Manufacturing Process
Sugar molasses, the sidestreams from the sugar industry, form the main raw material in our natural production process. These molasses act as a breeding ground for the Citribel fungus, which produces citric acid and mycelium through fermentation. During further downstream processing, we create citrates and other valuable components.
Through recycling and upcycling, we maximize the use of our resources, generating a wide range of high-quality circular products.
Our products
Our fermentation and refining processes result in high-quality citric acid, citrate salts and mycelium ingredients used in food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and industrial applications.
We supply citric acid in anhydrous, monohydrate and liquid formats, alongside monosodium citrate and trisodium citrate for buffering, pH control and formulation stability.
