Drum Tomato Paste – Bulk Aseptic Tomato Paste Supplier

Drum tomato paste is a concentrated tomato ingredient packed in industrial drums, commonly using an aseptic bag inside a protective steel drum. It is designed for food manufacturers that require substantial quantities of tomato solids for continuous production.

Unlike small retail packs, bulk tomato paste in drums is primarily used as a raw material in commercial food processing. Manufacturers can incorporate the concentrate into ketchup, tomato sauces, soups, seasonings, canned foods, and ready-to-eat meals.

Aseptic drum packaging helps protect the product during storage and transportation when processing, filling, sealing, and handling are carried out correctly. Product shelf life and storage conditions depend on the manufacturer's validated specifications.

For international buyers, selecting the right drum tomato paste involves evaluating Brix concentration, viscosity, color, acidity, packaging integrity, quality documentation, and shipment requirements.

Drum Tomato Paste Specifications

Use this reference table when preparing your inquiry. Exact figures must be confirmed from the applicable technical data sheet and batch COA.

Hot Break vs Cold Break Tomato Paste

Hot Break Tomato Paste

Hot Break processing uses relatively high temperatures during the early stages of tomato processing to reduce enzyme activity and help retain pectin. It is generally associated with higher viscosity and is often selected for products requiring body and thickness, such as ketchup and certain sauces.

Cold Break Tomato Paste

Cold Break processing uses lower initial break temperatures, allowing different enzyme activity and texture characteristics. It is generally associated with lower viscosity and may be preferred for applications where flow properties and tomato flavor characteristics are important.

When selecting Hot Break or Cold Break tomato paste, food manufacturers should consider final product viscosity, formulation, processing equipment, and sensory requirements. Brix concentration alone does not determine viscosity, so buyers should request the relevant technical data before purchasing.
