Inspired by the request and suggestions of our partners, customers and staff, we have added a ‘Sample Request’ tab to the top navigation bar of our website. The tab opens the sample request form, which is submitted with a click on the button.

Our test run during the past weeks confirmed our hopes that this will make the sampling process more straightforward and require less administrative work.

Please, from now on, request your samples using this online sample request. It will help you receive the samples faster. We will also email you a tracking link after we dispatch your parcel.

We would also like to suggest subscribing to our newsletters to always be among the first to know what’s new.

PEKTOS now offers contract packing into Stand-up Pouches/Doypacks and Flat-bottom Pouches on our own machine.

If you are looking for a way to package your food or pet food products more quickly, efficiently, and affordably, you should consider a stand-up pouch (also called doypack) or flat-bottom pouch packaging.

Stand-up and flat-bottom pouches are a type of flexible packaging that is sustainable, easy to customise and an excellent solution for many products and industries. The pouches can be created from a single or several layers of different types of materials, come in many sizes and can be customised to fit the product, and they can include extra features such as spouts, valves, punched handles and more. Pouch packaging is designed to operate hands-free, which limits contact with the food product and makes the packaging process fast and affordable.

– Flexible, efficient, good value.
– Efficient mixer.
– Allergen-free, gluten-free.
– Powders, granules, coarse-grained products.
– Large and small batches/production runs.
– Fill sizes from 100 g/ml to 1,500g/ml.
– Various pouch sizes and measures are possible.
– Coding.
– Carton and pallet packaging.

Call +41 79 605 56 01 or e-mail Ulrich Zuber uz@pektos.ch. We will be happy to discuss your packaging projects in detail.

PEKTOS APPLE FIBER AF 3 C – from Swiss-grown, freshly squeezed and dried apples, with low water-binding capacity and a fruity taste.

APPLE FIBER AF 3 C is a natural, clean-label, gluten-free fiber (EU limit). Its high mineral content, pleasant fruity taste and flavour and light brown colour make it a suitable fiber, particularly for bakery applications.

Total dietary fibre content: > 60 %
of which soluble: ≤ 10 %
of which insoluble: > 50 %

The Water Binding Capacity is 3 – 4g water/1 g fiber.

Fine particle size: max. 5% > 150 micron

APPLE FIBER AF 3 C ideally complements the other PEKTOS fibers like CARROT FIBER KF 15 C and CITRUS FIBER CF 1525, adding specific and unique product properties to the range.

Our new ‘ADS’ for the use of PEKTOS Carrot Fiber KF 15 C and Citrus Fiber CF 1525 C is now available.

Tomato sauce/ketchup and tomato-based sauces are among many dishes’ most popular and essential ingredients. Some are made without texturising ingredients, and the consistency and firmness come from the tomatoes themselves, their cell wall components being responsible for water binding and structure. Raw material in those products is double or triple concentrated tomato paste.

Non-premium and cheaper products with a lower content of tomato paste usually contain texturising or binding agents.

Carrot Fiber or Citrus Fiber can replace tomato paste or texturising ingredients to compensate for the sauce’s lack of firmness and viscosity caused by the reduced use of tomato paste, similar to the natural consistency building with tomato paste.

PEKTOS CITRUS FIBER CF 1525 – high water-binding capacity plus significant gelling ability.

CITRUS FIBER CF 1525 is 100% pure and undiluted citrus fiber, made in Germany from South American specially treated and processed citrus peels.

The peel treatment weakens the strong bonds between the hemicellulose, the pectin, and the proteins and sugars naturally occurring in the citrus peels and leads to an improved water-binding capacity through an expanded fiber matrix.

CITRUS FIBER CF 1525 is rich in soluble fiber, predominantly high ester pectin, which remains functional and gels in high solids and low pH conditions.

CITRUS FIBER CF 1525 is a natural, clean-label, multi-functional dietary fiber suitable for various food products through its high fiber content, excellent water-binding and moisture retaining capacity, and the texture it creates and provides.

PEKTOS CITRUS FIBER is a fine (CF 1525 C) or super-fine (CF 1525 A) powder, beige with a yellowish tinge and a weak citrus note.

CITRUS FIBER CF 1525 ideally complements the other PEKTOS fibers like CARROT FIBER KF 15 C and APPLE FIBER AF 3 C, adding specific and unique product properties to the range.

The high water-binding capacity combined with a powerful swelling capacity provides superior functionality and ease of use.

CARROT FIBER KF 15 C, without a doubt, is one of the most interesting plant-based texturisers right now, for its very high water-binding capacity paired with an outstanding swelling capacity, the superior pulpiness and pasty texture it provides, the light colour, appealing taste and flavour, but also because of its sustainability and low cost-in-use.

CARROT FIBER KF 15 C is 100% pure carrot fiber from carrot pulp after juice processing, with fine particle size.

CARROT FIBER KF 15 C: for many of your stabilisation, water binding, structure, texture, firmness, freshness and insoluble & soluble fiber needs.

CARROT FIBER KF 15 C ideally complements the other PEKTOS fibers like CITRUS FIBER CF 1525 and APPLE FIBER AF 3 C, adding specific and unique product properties to the range.

We are currently in the process of establishing our quality management system according to ISO 9001:2015.
