Tomato paste with a Brix level of 28-30% is a concentrated form of tomato product that is commonly used in cooking and food processing. The term "Brix" refers to the sugar content in a solution, measured as a percentage of the weight of the solution. A Brix level of 28-30% indicates that the tomato paste has a relatively high sugar content, which is balanced by the acidity and other components present in tomatoes."Cold Break" is a process that refers to the method of breaking down tomatoes without the use of heat. This is done to preserve the natural flavor, color, and nutritional content of the tomatoes. The cold break process typically involves crushing the tomatoes and then separating the solids from the liquid, which can then be further concentrated to make tomato paste.When tomato paste is made using the cold break method, it helps to maintain a more vibrant color and a fresher, more robust flavor compared to paste made with heat treatment. This type of tomato paste is often preferred for use in recipes where a high-quality tomato flavor is desired, such as in pasta sauces, soups, stews, and other culinary creations In the Hot Break process, tomatoes are heated during the breaking and separation process. This heating can help to coagulate the pectin and proteins in the tomatoes, which can result in a thicker, more viscous paste. The heat treatment also has a few other effects:Flavor Development: The heat can caramelize the sugars and develop deeper, more complex flavors in the tomato paste.Color Enhancement: Heating can intensify the color of the tomato paste, making it appear richer and more appealing.Preservation: The heat helps to kill bacteria and other microorganisms, which can extend the shelf life of the product.
