Thick, rich, and stable – built for hearty applications.

Hot Break Tomato Paste is made by heating freshly crushed tomatoes at 85–100°C immediately after crushing. This high-temperature treatment inactivates enzymes  and stabilizes pectins, resulting in a thicker, more viscous paste with a stronger cooked flavor. HB paste is widely used where body, consistency, and stability during storage are essential.

Key Applications:

  • Tomato paste in cans & jars
  • Pizza and pasta sauces
  • Ketchup with thicker texture
  • Industrial food preparations requiring higher viscosity

Application

Tomato paste is used like regular tomatoes or for cooking in Italian dishes.

Tomato paste adds dark color and tangy flavor to various foods, e.g., soups, stews, sauces, curries, chutneys, pizza sauce, and pickles.
