Tomato ketchup/paste flavor is a complex food additive designed to highly simulate the unique sweet and sour, rich, and fruity characteristics of fresh tomatoes after cooking, concentrating, and seasoning with spices.
Tomato ketchup flavor is a savory-sour blended flavor based on the three-dimensional aroma of “cooked tomato – sweet and sour – spicy.” The industry typically uses tomato oleoresin, tomato aldehyde, cis-3-hexenol, ethyl acetate, 5-methylfurfural, cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, and onion sulfide as the main components, supplemented with citric acid, acetic acid, and glucose syrup as carriers, and produced through spray drying or emulsification.
