From 18% to 36% Brix — hot break and cold break processing for every industrial and retail application.
UKA Foods produces tomato paste across the full concentration spectrum. Each grade is manufactured using premium Egyptian tomatoes harvested at peak ripeness, ensuring consistent color (L*a*b* values), viscosity, and flavor profile batch after batch.
Light concentrate ideal for soups, and food service applications. Lower viscosity allows easy pumping and blending in industrial processes. Most cost-effective option for manufacturers who will further process the paste.
Applications: Sauce manufacturing, ready meals, soup bases, food service kitchens
Color: Bright red, L*a*b* controlled
The most widely traded concentration globally. Balanced between flavor intensity and handling ease. Suitable for both retail packaging and food service. This is our highest-volume product.
Applications: Retail tins and sachets, pizza sauce base, home cooking
Markets: Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia — standard retail grade
Premium double concentrate with rich, deep flavor and thick consistency. Preferred by European and North American markets. Higher tomato content per gram means stronger taste in smaller quantities.
Applications: Premium retail, European market standard, HoReCa
Standard: Meets EU Codex requirements for "double concentrated"
Ultra-concentrated paste for industrial applications. Maximum flavor intensity in minimal volume. Used by food manufacturers as a base ingredient for ketchup, and ready meals.
Applications: Ketchup production, industrial sauce blending, export to reconstitution plants
Advantage: Reduced shipping cost per unit of tomato solids
Tomatoes heated to 85–100°C immediately after crushing. This deactivates pectinase enzymes, resulting in higher viscosity paste with thick, stable consistency. Preferred for retail products where thick texture is essential.
Key benefit: Superior viscosity and mouthfeel
Best for: Retail paste, premium thick ketchup
Tomatoes processed at 65–75°C, preserving natural enzymes for a brighter color and fresher flavor. Lower viscosity but superior aroma and color. Preferred for industrial applications and juice production.
Key benefit: Brighter color and fresher flavor
Best for: Industrial blending, juice base, light sauces
