Heat Treatment
Cold break tomato paste is produced by a milder heat treatment process, which helps preserve the natural colour and flavour of the tomatoes. The sterilization process for cold-break tomato paste involves the following parameters:
-
Temperature: The tomato paste is heated to a temperature range of approximately 85 to 95°C.
-
Time: The paste is held at this temperature for a specific duration, usually around 12 to 15 minutes.
-
pH: The pH level of the tomato paste is typically adjusted to a range of 4.0 to 4.5, which helps inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
