Production Process of Tomato Paste
The extensive Tomato Paste production cost report consists of the major industrial production processes:
- Production via cold break system: The production process occurs via the cold break system. In this process, the tomato pulp is treated at a low temperature of about 65 °C and filtered to remove any seeds and skins. Finally, the moisture is removed with the help of evaporation to concentrate the paste and produce a less viscous Tomate Paste.
- Production via hot break system: The production process occurs via the hot break system. In this process, the tomato pulp is heated to a temperature in the range of 85°C and 95°C. After the heating, the pulp is filtered to remove any seeds and peels. Finally, the moisture is removed with the help of evaporation to concentrate the paste and produce a thick and viscous Tomato Paste.
