Color is an important measurement parameter in tomato products and is commonly associated with overall quality. Common finished tomato products requiring high color standards include juices, ketchup and sauces. However, products such as BBQ sauce do not require such tight color standards.
Additionally, finish is a key factor in both yield and texture of a final product. The quality of insoluble solids significantly improves ingredient yields, while texture adds to the mouth feel of the final product.
