TOMATO-BASED PRODUCTS AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE SAME

摘要

Tomato-based products having a thick consistency and a process for preparing the same. The process comprises the steps of hot- or cold breaking tomatoes, separating the resulting product into a product (a) rich in soluble tomato solids and water, and a product (b) rich in the insoluble tomato solids and water, optionally subjecting product (a) to a concentration step such that it is at least 10° Brix, and recombine product (a) and product (b) to a product (c) in such ratios that the resulting product has a ratio soluble tomato solids:insoluble tomato solids of between 1.0:0.5 and 1.0:20.
