This special fruit is spray dried in large amounts from a concentrated paste. The powder is prepared from Hot Break paste or Cold Break paste. The paste used is strained free of skin, seeds and long fibres, and is concentrated to a maximum of 45 °Brix for Hot Break and 50 °Brix for Cold Break. Niro has designed a special spray dryer to handle tomatoes, which is the most used tomato dryer worldwide. Niro technology also allows for drying of tomato paste on the FILTERMAT®. The tomato powder can be produced without including any additives on the Niro dryers.
