Deciding between Hot Break and Cold Break tomato paste depends on your final product's viscosity and texture requirements.

| Brix Range | 28% - 30% / 30% - 32% | 36% - 38% (High Concentration) | Refractometer at 20°C |
| Pre-heating Temp | 85°C – 105°C | 65°C – 75°C | Thermal process management |
| Viscosity (Bostwick) | 3.0 - 5.5 cm / 30 sec (High Viscosity) | 6.0 - 9.0 cm / 30 sec (Low Viscosity) | Bostwick Consistometer at 12.5% Brix |
| Enzymatic Activity | Pectinase fully deactivated (protects pectin) | Pectinase active (natural breakdown of pectin) | Industrial enzyme testing |
| Howard Mold Count (HMC) | < 40% (customizable to < 30%) | < 40% (customizable to < 30%) | GB/T 10786 / AOAC Methods |
| Lycopene Content | ≥ 50 mg / 100g (min) | ≥ 60 mg / 100g (min) | Spectrophotometric analysis |
| Ideal Applications | Ketchup, Pizza sauces, Thick gravies | Reconstituted juice, Tomato soup, Paste for retail packing | Industrial food compounding |
In Hot Break processing, freshly chopped tomatoes are rapidly pre-heated to temperatures between 85°C and 105°C. This thermal shock immediately deactivates natural pectolytic enzymes (pectin methyl esterase and polygalacturonase) that would otherwise break down the tomato's natural pectin. By preserving these long-chain pectin molecules, the resulting paste maintains a high viscosity. This makes it ideal for ketchup manufacturers who require a stable yield and thick mouthfeel without using artificial gums or stabilizers.
Cold Break processing exposes the crushed tomatoes to lower temperatures (65°C to 75°C) before processing. This allows natural enzymes to partially break down the pectin, reducing the viscosity of the juice. Consequently, during the concentration phase, the water can evaporate more easily, achieving higher concentration levels (up to 36-38% Brix). Cold Break paste offers a bright red color and distinct fresh tomato flavor, making it a preferred choice for reconstitution into juices, passatas, and cooking sauces.
Key performance indicators illustrating our operational scale, quality standards, and compliance metrics.
How our bulk tomato paste serves various sectors of global food manufacturing.
For ketchup manufacturers, texture, synaeresis control (water separation), and deep red coloration are critical quality parameters. Our 28-30% Brix Hot Break bulk paste provides the necessary natural pectin structure. This helps control viscosity, reduce stabilizer costs, and ensure consistent dispensing characteristics in retail squeeze bottles and food service dispensers.
Our 30-32% Hot Break and Cold Break tomato pastes are widely used as bases for pasta sauces, canned beans, stews, and frozen dinners. They offer high thermal stability, meaning they maintain their flavor profile, red color, and smooth texture even under retorting and high-temperature industrial canning processes.
Beverage manufacturers require complete dissolution and low sediment separation in their products. Our 36-38% Brix Cold Break paste reconstitutes smoothly, offering a natural tomato taste and consistent color. This is critical for producing high-quality vegetable juice blends, cocktail mixers, and tomato soups.
Integrating smart manufacturing, traceability, and sustainable agriculture into our long-term supply chain strategy.
Deploying advanced optical sorting technologies across our processing lines to identify and filter out blemished raw tomatoes. This reduces Howard Mold Counts (HMC) at the crop receiving point, improving product quality before concentration begins.
Upgrading our evaporation facilities with closed-loop water recovery systems. The steam generated during tomato juice concentration is condensed and repurposed for primary washing cycles, reducing overall freshwater consumption per metric ton of finished paste.
Implementing a batch-level database that links each drum of organic tomato paste to its source farm plot, planting timeline, and processing parameters. This provides transparency for quality assurance teams during global supply chain audits.
Collaborating with packaging suppliers to develop recyclable, high-barrier aseptic inner liners. This keeps the paste fresh for up to 24 months without the need for preservatives or cold storage during transit.
Meeting phytosanitary standards, customs requirements, and quality control specifications for international markets.
Navigating global border controls requires documentation and strict product testing. At Hebei Abiding Co., Ltd., our export department manages logistics, customs clearance, and certification procedures for destinations across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Our bulk tomato paste is packed under strict sanitary conditions in 220L aseptic bags placed in steel drums (4 drums per pallet, 80 drums per 20ft FCL) or 1000L wooden/cardboard IBC totes for high-volume processors. This ensures the product remains commercially sterile throughout transit, maintaining its color, acidity, and flavor profile without refrigeration.
We provide full documentation for every shipment, including COAs (Certificate of Analysis), phytosanitary certificates, heavy metal test reports, non-GMO declarations, and organic transaction certificates (NOP/EU COIs) issued by authorized third-party certifiers.
Answers to common technical, logistics, and quality assurance questions from food manufacturers and purchasing managers.
Under proper ambient storage conditions (cool, dry warehouse space, ideally below 25°C), our aseptically packed bulk tomato paste in 220L steel drums has a shelf life of 24 months from the production date. Once the aseptic bag is opened, the product must be processed immediately or stored under refrigeration to prevent oxidation and microbiological growth.
We maintain strict organic integrity through dedicated organic farming zones that are separated from conventional agricultural lands. Every crop season, our agricultural specialists supervise soil health and irrigation water quality. Before processing, raw tomato batches are tested. Furthermore, each finished batch is analyzed by independent laboratories using GC-MS/LC-MS pesticide multi-residue screens to ensure compliance with NOP and EU Organic standards.
Our standard MOQ for international shipments is one 20ft container (FCL). This container holds approximately 80 steel drums of 220L (about 19-20 metric tons net weight) or 20 wooden/cardboard IBC containers (1000L each). For specific trial batches or test runs, customized configurations can be arranged through our sales team.
Yes. By adjusting the pre-heating temperatures (ranging from 85°C to 105°C) and refining the evaporation parameters, we can achieve specific Bostwick consistency levels (e.g., 3.5-4.5 cm / 30s) to meet the exact requirements of your production machinery and viscosity standards.
