Pectin SA transforms local citrus peel into world-class pectin and functional ingredients. Through a natural process of extraction, purification, and upcycling, we deliver reliable, sustainable solutions that support the food, beverage, and ingredient industries in South Africa and beyond.
At Pectin SA, we help our clients unlock new value by turning local citrus byproducts into world-class, functional ingredients for industry. Our proprietary extraction process uses the latest advances in biorefining to transform what was once considered waste—fresh citrus peel—into four core solutions: pectin, citrus fibre, d-limonene, and FCOJ equivalent. Each product is carefully refined and quality-controlled to meet the demands of modern food, beverage, and ingredient manufacturers.
With a commitment to sustainability and efficiency, our process minimises environmental impact while maximising ingredient performance. Pectin is delivered as a high-purity, versatile powder for gelling and stabilising. Citrus fibre provides clean-label texture and nutrition for diverse product development. D-limonene, our natural citrus oil, offers aroma, flavour, and eco-friendly industrial applications. And our FCOJ equivalent creates a stable, locally sourced juice base for manufacturers who want to reduce imports and build more resilient supply chains. By upcycling citrus peel, we offer a new way to support local growers, create jobs, and strengthen the South African food and ingredient sector.
