From citrus to you

The raw materials for Citrosa+ are a sustainable side from orange plantations. Citrosa+ is produced from baby citrus fruit, sourced from the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

These are the small oranges that grow on the tree after it blossoms. The vast majority fall on the ground by a natural process. This drop allows the remaining fruits to fully develop. HTBA collects the baby oranges from the ground, and dries them to use as the starting material for Citrosa+.

Why Citrosa+?
  1. HTBA’s proprietary formulation of Neohesperidin DC, a sweet flavonoid
  2. Approximately 1.100 times sweeter than sugar
  3. Does not have a caloric content
  4. An excellent safety profile
    The FDA recently concluded that Citrosa is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS).
  9. Strong sweetness synergies with high intensity sweeteners
    This allows formulators to use lower concentrations of these HI sweeteners for a given sweetness level.
  10. Strong sweetness synergies with bulk sugars
    This making it an ideal candidate for sugar reduction.
  11. Acts as a flavor enhancer
    It improves the flavor profile of reduced-sugar foods and beverages.
  12. Acts as a taste masker
    It reduces the bitterness, astringency and off flavors in health foods, beverages and dietary supplements.
  13. HTBA has developed a patented formulation
    Which improves the solubility of Neohesperidin DC and gives it a sweetness profile which is closer to sugar.
  14. Keto friendly
  15. High quality
    HTBA produces Citrosa+ in its facility in Spain following the highest quality standards.

Formulating new standards

HTBA’s 30-year commitment to Citrosa+ can be evidenced by the development of a robust and sustainable supply chain, advancement of knowledge regarding its characteristics and applications, and extensive publications heralding its benefits.
