PRODUCTS CENTER


Cote d'Ivoire, located in West Africa, is an important agricultural country with rich resources in cocoa, coffee, palm oil, cassava, and bananas. With increasing consumer awareness of health, there is a growing demand for natural and functional foods. Pectin, citrus fiber, carrageenan, and konjac gum, all natural plant-based ingredients, are widely used in dairy, beverages, snacks, bakery, sauces, health foods, and personal care products, driving innovation and development in local industries. In the dairy and beverage sectors, pectin is widely used in yogurt, probiotic drinks, fruit juices, and functional beverages. High-ester pectin maintains product stability in acidic environments, enhances the smoothness and texture of beverages, and extends shelf life. Citrus fiber excels in low-sugar, high-fiber beverages, increasing fiber content while improving the mouthfeel and fullness of the drink. Carrageenan plays a vital role in dairy desserts such as custards, puddings, and jellies, forming a stable gel structure and improving product texture. Konjac gum, with its transparent and flexible gel properties, offers healthier and fresher food choices in low-sugar desserts, jellies, and plant-based meal replacement drinks. In the snack and bakery industry, citrus fiber is widely used in dough to improve the moisture retention and softness of bread, cakes, and biscuits. Pectin helps to form a stable gel structure in jams, cake fillings, and confectionery, maintaining a shiny appearance and excellent texture. Carrageenan and konjac gum are used in puddings, mousses, and gummy snacks to enhance gel strength and texture, providing multi-layered sensory experiences. In sauces and condiments, the addition of pectin and citrus fiber effectively improves the stability of sauces, prevents separation, and enhances flavor integration. Carrageenan helps to improve sliceability and water retention in meat products, while konjac gum optimizes texture and mouthfeel in low-fat, low-sugar, and plant-based sauces. In personal care and beauty products, konjac gum and citrus fiber are used as natural skincare ingredients in lotions, face masks, and hair care products. Konjac gum provides excellent moisturizing effects, while citrus fiber has exfoliating and adsorption properties, helping to keep the skin smooth and fresh, and meeting consumers' demand for natural, safe, and effective beauty products. With increasing demand for natural, plant-based ingredients in Cote d'Ivoire, pectin, citrus fiber, carrageenan, and konjac gum are not only meeting the growing demand for healthy and functional foods but also providing opportunities for innovation and upgrading in local food and personal care industries. Lemon Biotech, as a comprehensive provider of natural hydrocolloid solutions, offers comprehensive technical support, process optimization, and formulation advice to help companies in Cote d'Ivoire achieve differentiated development and innovation.
