Spray-dried Tomato Powder for food and beverage manufacturing
What Spray-Dried Tomato Powder Can Do in Food Formulations
Spray-dried tomato powder produced from tomato paste delivers concentrated tomato flavor, natural color, and controlled functional performance in dry and semi-dry food systems. By removing water while preserving key tomato solids, spray drying allows manufacturers to replace liquid tomato paste with a shelf-stable ingredient that is easier to transport, store, and dose accurately during production.
Agusa manufactures spray-dried tomato powder derived from hot break and cold break tomato paste, allowing customers to select the appropriate format based on viscosity requirements, flavor profile, and finished product behavior. Organic spray-dried tomato powder is also available for certified organic and clean-label applications.

Cold Break Spray-Dried Tomato Powder
Cold break spray-dried tomato powder is produced from tomato paste that retains higher enzymatic activity prior to spray drying. This results in a fresher tomato flavor profile with lower viscosity compared to hot break formats. Cold break tomato powder is often selected for applications where bright tomato notes and flavor impact are prioritized over thickening performance.
Common uses include dry seasoning blends, snack coatings, beverage formulations, and applications where fresh tomato character is desired.
Hot Break Spray-Dried Tomato Powder
Hot break spray-dried tomato powder is produced from tomato paste that has been heated to deactivate pectolytic enzymes before concentration and spray drying. This process results in higher viscosity and a more cooked tomato flavor profile, making hot break tomato powder well-suited for applications requiring body, thickness, and stability.
Common uses include sauces, soups, ready meals, and seasoning systems where viscosity contribution and processed tomato notes are desired.
Organic Spray-Dried Tomato Powder
Organic Cold Break spray-dried tomato powder is produced from 100% certified organic tomato paste and spray-dried to deliver consistent flavor, color, and performance while meeting organic certification requirements. This format is suitable for customers seeking clean label solutions without carriers, artificial additives, or anti-caking, while maintaining the handling and shelf stability benefits of spray-dried tomato ingredients.
Agusa supplies organic spray-dried tomato powder for applications requiring certified organic inputs, including seasoning blends, sauces, and formulated food products where ingredient transparency and regulatory compliance are critical.
