Some concepts related to tomato ketchup, paste and sauce:
1. Brix, the percentage of soluble solids in beverages, in °Bx or % range. Generally, the initial Brix degree of tomato is 4.5-5.5, and it may be around 4.
2. Cold breaking and hot breaking: In order to meet different viscosity requirements, two processes are divided according to the crushing temperature of tomatoes: cold breaking (breaking temperature below 65C) and hot breaking (above 85C). Cold breaking is mainly used to make low-viscosity products ( The viscosity value is above 7cm/30s), and hot breaking is mainly used for high viscosity products (the viscosity value is below 6cm/30s). At present, the mainstream products are 36-38brix cold breaking and 28-30brix hot breaking sauce
3. Tomato paste: Concentrated tomato paste Brix generally has two specifications, 2830 (Brix is ​​28 or 30), or 3638 (Brix is ​​36 or 38). The ratio of raw materials to finished products is about 6:1
4. Aseptic filling of large barrels: the capacity of international general aseptic barrels is 220L.
