A composition of matter in dry form comprising citrus fibers and an additive distributed between said fibers, said composition having a storage modulus (G') of at least 150 Pa, said G' being measured on an aqueous medium obtained by dispersing an amount of said composition therein under a low shear stirring of less than 10000 rpm to obtain a citrus fibers' concentration of 2 wt% relative to the total amount of the aqueous medium, wherein the storage modulus (G') is measured by a parallel plate rheometer, wherein the storage modulus (G') is measured at a strain level of 0.1 % and at a temperature of 20 °C, wherein the additive is chosen from the group consisting of glucose, sucrose, glycerol and sorbitol, wherein the composition has an additive to fiber ratio of between 0.4:1.0 and 8.0:1.0 by weight; obtained by a method comprising the steps of: a. Homogenizing an aqueous slurry of a source of citrus fibers to obtain an aqueous slurry of citrus fibers; b. Contacting the aqueous slurry of citrus fibers with an organic solvent to obtain a precipitate phase and a liquid phase; wherein the precipitate is in the form of granules; c. Separating said precipitate phase from the liquid phase to obtain a semi-dry citrus fiber cake having a dry substance-content of at least 10 wt% relative to the mass of said cake; d. Comminuting said cake to obtain grains containing citrus fibers; and mixing said grains with an additive chosen from the group consisting of glucose, sucrose, glycerol and sorbitol to obtain a semi-dry composition comprising citrus fibers and an additive; and e. Desolventizing and/or dehydrating said semi-dry composition to obtain a dry composition containing citrus fibers and an additive. wherein the storage modulus (G') is measured by a parallel plate rheometer, wherein the storage modulus (G') is measured at a strain level of 0.1 % and at a temperature of 20 °C, wherein the additive is chosen from the group consisting of glucose, sucrose, glycerol and sorbitol, wherein the composition has an additive to fiber ratio of between 0.4:1.0 and 8.0:1.0 by weight; obtained by a method comprising the steps of: a.
