What Cold Break (CB) Processing Means for Tomato Paste Performance

Cold Break describes a lower‑temperature approach during initial thermal treatment that protects volatile aroma compounds and the fresh‑acid balance. For tomato paste, CB preserves bright fruit character while providing a lighter, line‑friendly body ideal for pourable formulations such as ketchup, light sauces, and beverage bases.

Temperature window and enzyme activity that preserve fresh notes

CB uses a reduced heat window so native enzymes and volatile aromatics are less degraded. This preserves brighter tomato taste and fresher acid balance compared with more aggressive thermal regimes. (For customer‑facing technical sheets, request our validated CB temperature/hold ranges and enzyme activity data.)

Viscosity, color retention, and seed/skin management in CB lines

Because CB limits pectin set‑up during initial heating, finished concentrates display a lighter body and improved pumpability. Careful deaeration, rapid cooling, and controlled oxygen exposure reduce oxidative darkening and help retain vibrant color. Fine screening and multi‑stage filtration remove seeds and skin fragments to deliver low speck counts and a clean mouthfeel for downstream blending.

Typical QC checks we provide include Bostwick flow, serum separation, and a/b color metrics so you can verify reconstitution behavior on your line.

How CB supports clean label and short‑heat exposure matrices

CB aligns with clean‑label goals: shorter thermal impact combined with 100% tomato inputs supports minimal ingredient statements. Aseptic filling — where product and container are sterilized separately and assembled in a sterile environment — secures ambient shelf stability while protecting CB sensory targets.

• HACCP controls set critical limits for temperature, hold time, and aseptic filling to ensure safety and repeatable quality.
• Routine in‑process and finished tests (Bostwick, serum separation, micro limits, color) verify product performance and are included on request with TDS/COA.

“CB concentrates deliver a noticeable lift in fresh tomato taste while remaining line‑friendly for high‑throughput, pourable applications.”

Request a technical pack to receive validated CB processing ranges, enzyme/pectin activity data, and practical reconstitution targets (e.g., suggested dilution and target Bostwick ranges) so R&D can model your production runs.

Selecting the Right Cold Break (CB) Grade for Your Product

Process choice shapes aroma, body, and how a formula behaves on the line — this guidance focuses exclusively on Cold Break (CB) performance and grade selection.

Cold Break (CB) preserves fresh aromatics and yields a lighter body suited to pourable systems. CB maintains bright tomato flavor and often reduces the need for added thickeners in ketchup, light sauce, soup bases, beverage blends, and other pourable applications.

Choosing CB by application and Brix

Match the CB 36–38 Brix grade to your target viscosity, flavor profile, and thermal budget. Begin with desired flow rates and sensory goals, then verify how CB 36–38 Brix performs in your application to limit reformulation and optimize cost-in-use.

• CB 36–38 Brix: higher solids for improved yield and freight efficiency; requires controlled dilution and slightly higher pump torque during reconstitution.
• Pilot trials: verify shear stability, acid balance, and color retention through your downstream processes (retort, HTST, or kettle cook).

“Run CB pilot trials on your line to confirm texture and flavor before scaling to full production.”

Procurement note: Choose CB grade by the combination of your target Bostwick, required solids yield, and line handling limits. Consult our technical sales to receive recommended reconstitution ratios, target Bostwick ranges, and a suggested pilot size (50–200 kg pilot recommended) for CB 28–30 and CB 36–38.

Next step: Request CB sample drums and a pilot plan so R&D can confirm viscosity curves, Bostwick targets, and flavor retention under your production conditions.

Understanding High Brix CB 36-38 Concentrations for Industrial Formulation

A concentrate’s soluble solids control viscosity, yield, and how much water you must add during production.

Soluble solids and how Brix drives sweetness, body, and yield

Brix measures soluble solids that determine perceived sweetness, body, and yield. Procurement and R&D teams use Brix to forecast cost‑in‑use across SKUs and market channels when sourcing cold break tomato paste Egypt. Monitor Bostwick, color (a/b), and serum separation to verify that reconstitution delivers consistent sensory outcomes on your line.

When to specify CB 28–30 vs CB 36–38 for target viscosity and cost‑in‑use

Choose CB 28–30 Brix for medium viscosity targets where fast hydration and easy pumpability are priorities — common in ketchup, light sauces and ready meals. Choose CB 36–38 Brix when higher solids are needed to reduce water carry, save tank space, and lower freight per finished case for central kitchens and bulk formulation.

“Higher Brix reduces transport weight but requires R&D to model reconstitution, line speed, and cost‑in‑use.”

• CB 36–38 Brix: efficient for central production and bulk reconstitution where storage density and yield per ton matter; staged mixing and higher pump torque are typical.
• Packaging note: aseptic drums are preferred for industrial dosing; tins/cans serve retail SKUs and smaller kitchens.

Reconstitution examples (typical starting points)

• CB 28–30 Brix: begin with 1:2 to 1:3 concentrate:water by weight, target Bostwick range to be agreed with R&D based on final SKU.
• CB 36–38 Brix: staged dilution (pre‑wet then final mix) is recommended; initial trials often use 1:4 to 1:5 overall dilution to reach finished solids—confirm with pilot.

Be prepared: request TDS, COA, micro specs, and sample drums (CB 28–30 and CB 36–38) so R&D can validate viscosity curves, flavor retention, and finished stability at pilot scale. Plan FIFO storage and adequate space allocation to protect concentrate performance in production.

Industrial Applications for CB Tomato Concentrate

Industrial kitchens and contract manufacturers choose CB concentrate when they need a bright, fresh note that survives downstream thermal processing and blends easily on high‑throughput lines.

Ketchup and light sauces that keep a fresh profile

CB concentrate gives ketchup and light sauce formulas a fresh, bright character. Using CB‑28–30 Brix delivers pourability and sheen; CB‑36–38 Brix raises solids for yield while keeping brightness. In many formulations CB reduces the need for heavy thickeners and helps achieve target Bostwick flow with lower shear.

Ready meals, soups, and beverage bases

Ready meals and soups benefit from a lighter body that balances spoon feel and mouth‑coating. CB preserves acidity and volatile notes that help finished products read as fresher after retort or cook cycles. Beverage bases use CB to add a clean fruit lift without dense body, easing blending into fluid systems.

Operational benefits and format guidance

CB disperses quickly in mixing tanks, lowers shear load, and shortens cycle times in large kettles — improving batch homogeneity and speeding production. For industrial dosing, aseptic drums (190–220 kg) with sterile liners are the preferred packaging for efficient handling and ambient storage.

• Use CB to preserve fresh tomato flavor in pasta and pizza sauces after thermal steps.
• Run pilot trials to confirm Bostwick, serum separation, and finished stability on your line.
• Request samples and pilot drums (we recommend 1–2 drums for initial trials) so R&D can validate performance in your recipes.

Next step: For samples, TDS, or technical trials, contact our sales and technical team to arrange CB sample drums (CB 28–30 and CB 36–38), COA documentation, and a pilot plan. We’ll propose suggested reconstitution ratios, target Bostwick ranges, and a trial scope aligned to your production needs.

Packaging, Handling, and Storage for Aseptic Tomato Paste

Choosing the right packaging reduces downtime, protects quality during dosing and batching, and influences landed cost and handling on busy production floors.

Industrial drum format vs retail options

Aseptic drums (190–220 kg) fitted with sterile liners are designed for high‑volume lines: they support ambient storage, simplify decanting into process tanks, and reduce contamination risk. These drums are the preferred packaging for industrial dosing of aseptic tomato paste and other tomato products.

By contrast, tins, glass jars, sachets, and cups suit retail and small kitchens. Canned tomato paste and canned tomato formats are useful for low‑volume use but add handling and portioning time on fast production floors.

Storage, opening, and partial‑use best practices (quick SOP)

Store drums in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Keep pallets off the floor and follow FIFO to protect aroma, color, and shelf life.

Opening and decanting — recommended steps:

1. Verify drum identity and COA before opening.
2. Sanitize tools, valve fittings, and the surrounding area; use a clean opening station.
3. Use controlled‑pierce valves or sterile decant systems to minimize air ingress.
4. Transfer contents to sanitary tanks with dedicated hoses and inline filters where required.
5. If partial use is unavoidable, reseal with sanitary caps, minimize headspace, label with open date, and plan rapid drawdown (use within the factory’s defined working life).

HACCP‑aligned controls: document post‑opening SOPs and environmental checks, use dedicated drum lifters and clean hoses, and schedule regular audits of storage areas to ensure compliance.

• Sanitation: maintain documented cleaning records for decant equipment.
• Environmental monitoring: verify storage conditions and micro environment near drum storage.
• Handling: use drum lifters and decant skids to reduce contamination risks and ergonomic incidents.

“Proper handling preserves product performance, reduces downtime, and keeps lines running.”

Procurement note: ask your account manager for MOQs by packaging type and for recommended storage temperature and humidity ranges to support the 24‑month shelf life claim. For assistance with drum opening SOPs or to request sample handling kits, contact our technical team.
