Ontad’s Expertise and Quality Control in Tomato and Pepper Paste Production
In paste production, the freshness of the raw material and the precision of the processing directly affect the taste and shelf life of the final product. Ontad’s production process aims to achieve the best results by observing these subtleties:
- Raw Material Selection: The tomatoes and peppers used in our production are carefully selected from the highest quality, sun-ripened, and fresh products of Turkey’s Mediterranean and Aegean regions. All products undergo detailed quality control from raw material entry.
- Advanced Technology Processing: Harvested tomatoes and peppers are washed, sorted, and crushed in modern machines. Then, they undergo cooking and concentrating processes with modern technology while preserving their traditional flavor. In this process, the product’s natural color, aroma, and nutritional value are maximally preserved. Optionally, we can produce sweet or hot pepper paste varieties.
- Laboratory Analyses and Quality Assurance: Every batch of production undergoes comprehensive analyses in our advanced laboratory:
- Brix Value Measurement: The Brix value, which determines the density and concentration of the paste, is continuously checked with precise instruments to ensure compliance with standards.
- pH and Acidity Analysis: pH and acidity levels, which affect the shelf life and microbiological stability of the paste, are meticulously monitored.
- Sensory Analysis: Products are evaluated by expert panelists for sensory properties such as consistency, color, smell, and taste to confirm their suitability for the brand identity.
- Microbiological Analyses: Pathogen and spoilage microorganism tests are regularly conducted to ensure that the products are completely safe for human health.
- Hygienic Production Conditions: Our facilities operate in full compliance with international food safety and ethical trade certifications such as BRCGS, IFS, KOSHER, HALAL, and SEDEX. Our production, filling, and packaging lines are designed to prevent cross-contamination and preserve the freshness of the product.
