How ShunDi Produces High Quality Tomato Powder
The production of tomato powder follows a rigorous and carefully controlled process designed to ensure purity, flavor, and nutritional integrity. The workflow begins with a thorough inspection of the tomato paste raw materials to guarantee the highest quality. The paste then undergoes pre-processing and pasteurization, eliminating potential microbial contamination while preparing it for spray drying.
During the high-pressure spray drying stage, the tomato paste is transformed into a fine powder while retaining key nutrients like lycopene, dietary fiber, and organic acids. The powder is then cooled using a vibrating fluidized bed to maintain structural stability and prevent caking. Silicon dioxide is added as an anti-caking agent, followed by fine screening and magnetic iron removal to ensure purity. The powder is then packaged, X-ray inspected, and palletized for safe delivery to customers around the globe.
Key Functional Advantages
Excellent Rehydration: When mixed with water at 90°C, the powder dissolves evenly without layering or sedimentation, producing a smooth, uniform solution ideal for soups, sauces, and beverages.
Uniform Particle Size: ShunDi tomato powder features consistent particles with minimal ultrafine content, ensuring a uniform texture and appearance in finished products. This quality is critical for applications like coatings, toppings, and instant seasoning mixes.
Applications Across the Food Industry
Powdered toppings and coatings: Ideal for snack foods, puffed products, potato chips, biscuits, seaweed, and chicken nuggets. It also works well in breading or seasoning blends such as Orleans-style marinades for barbecue.
Soup bases: Perfect for instant soups, hot pot bases, spicy hot pot, and solid beverage formulations, where quick dissolution and consistent flavor are critical.
