Tomato paste is made from tomatoes in a several-stage process. Tomatoes are washed, sorted for quality, chopped, enzyme deactivated to preserve serum quality then strained to obtain the necessary juice for paste production. The strained juice is then evaporated under vacuum to a concentration of 24% Natural Tomato Soluble Solids (NTSS). The finished paste is practically free from extraneous plants material and objectionable defects, has a bright red color and possesses a rich tomato flavor. The product is hot-filled to ensure commercial sterility then cooled prior to stacking.
