Product overview
Organic tomato paste at 36–38° Brix is a high-solids tomato concentrate produced for industrial users seeking efficient delivery of certified- organic tomato solids. Because more water has been removed than in lower-Brix paste, the product is well suited to reconstitution, industrial blending and supply chains where freight and storage efficiency matter.
The ingredient can serve as a concentrated base for sauces, soups, prepared foods and other tomato systems. Manufacturers can combine the paste with water and other recipe components to achieve the required final solids level, texture, flavor and processing characteristics.
Atlas Global Trading Co. sources tomato ingredients through a multi-origin network of farms, processors and supply partners. We match the ingredient to the customer’s target Brix, process requirements, organic certification, commercial pack format, technical documentation, destination and supply program.
Specification focus
The target concentration should be confirmed as part of the commercial specification rather than inferred from the product name alone. Buyers purchasing a 36–38° Brix program should review the approved soluble- solids range together with the processor’s test method and lot documentation.
High-solids tomato paste is frequently associated with cold-break processing, but the actual process style and resulting product characteristics should be confirmed for the selected supply program. Process conditions can influence viscosity, fresh or cooked tomato character, color and behavior after dilution.
Consistency or viscosity remains an important review point even at a defined Brix. Two high-solids pastes can have different flow behavior, so buyers should specify the consistency method and target relevant to their plant and finished application.
Color, pH, acidity, finish and microbiological parameters may also form part of the approved technical specification. Requirements should be aligned with the intended recipe, thermal process and customer-specific quality standards.
High-solids efficiency
One of the primary reasons for selecting 36–38° Brix paste is solids efficiency. By transporting a more concentrated ingredient, manufacturers can reduce the amount of water carried through the supply chain compared with lower-concentration tomato formats.
The commercial advantage depends on the complete system, including delivered price, freight, storage, unloading, reconstitution and plant handling. Buyers comparing 28–30° Brix and 36–38° Brix programs should therefore evaluate cost on a usable-solids basis rather than only on price per container or tonne.
Reconstitution and formulation
High-solids tomato paste is commonly reconstituted with water before or during production. Accurate dilution is important because the reconstitution ratio influences finished solids, viscosity, color, flavor intensity and recipe yield.
Mixing equipment should be capable of incorporating the concentrated paste evenly without leaving localized high-solids areas. Water temperature, addition sequence, shear and mixing time may affect how quickly the paste becomes uniform in the finished batch.
Where the product is replacing a lower-Brix paste, formulators should recalculate water addition and verify final texture rather than making a simple weight-for-weight substitution.
Processing and plant handling
Concentrated paste can require more force to pump and empty than a lower-solids tomato product. Plant teams should confirm that unloading, transfer pumps, piping and mixing systems are appropriate for the selected consistency and packaging configuration.
Temperature can influence handling characteristics, so storage and processing conditions should follow the supplying processor’s current specification. Production trials can help confirm pumpability, reconstitution time and final performance when qualifying a new source.
Typical applications
- Industrial tomato and culinary sauces
- Soups and concentrated soup bases
- Reconstitution into lower-solids tomato systems
- Large-scale industrial blending
- Prepared foods and further processing
- Long-distance and export supply programs
Packaging and logistics
High-solids organic tomato paste is commonly considered for industrial bulk programs where aseptic packaging can support efficient storage and handling. Exact drum, bin or other bulk configurations depend on the processor and commercial supply program.
Buyers should confirm net weight, liner and container configuration, palletization, storage conditions, shelf life and unloading method. Destination, shipment size and annual volume may influence the most practical origin and packaging pathway.
Organic program controls
Organic certification is a core part of the supply specification. We confirm certification scope and supporting records for the selected processor, origin and supply lot, including relevant chain-of-custody documentation where applicable.
Buyers should provide the destination country and any customer-specific organic requirements during inquiry because accepted certification and labeling pathways can vary by market.
Final organic claims should remain aligned with the approved ingredient, certification scope, processor documentation and destination-market requirements.
