5 Common Quality Problems in Sauce Production and Engineering Solutions

Achieving standard quality in food production is challenging. One batch might be perfect, while the next suffers from syneresis (water release), discoloration, or rapid spoilage. These issues often stem from inadequate machinery or an unbalanced formula.

At Titanyum Makina, we don't just manufacture machines; we provide engineering solutions for chronic problems in tomato paste, ketchup, and mayonnaise production. Here are the 5 most common problems manufacturers face and our technical solutions:

1. Problem: Phase Separation (Breaking / Curdling)

Symptom: Water settles at the bottom while oil floats to the top in the jar. The product loses its homogeneous structure.

Cause: Oil and water molecules are not sufficiently dispersed. The emulsion is weak.

✅ Solution: High Shear Homogenization

Standard mixers are insufficient for stable emulsions. Our Vacuum Mixers equipped with "High Shear" Homogenizers reduce oil particles to micron levels, creating a permanent bond with water. Result: Mayonnaise that remains stable and stone-like for months.

2. Problem: Discoloration (Browning) and Burnt Taste

Symptom: Your ketchup or tomato paste looks brownish and dull instead of vibrant red. It has a slight bitter (burnt) aftertaste.

Cause: Cooking in open kettles occurs above 100°C. High heat caramelizes the sugar in tomatoes (Maillard reaction) and degrades the lycopene pigment.

✅ Solution: Vacuum Cooking (The Bull Process)

Our Vacuum Cookers reduce the boiling point of water to 60-65°C by lowering the pressure. Cooking at low temperatures preserves the vibrant red color and natural aroma of fresh tomatoes.

3. Problem: Rapid Spoilage and Mold Growth

Symptom: Swollen lids (gas formation) or mold appearing on the product surface shortly after production.

Cause: Inadequate pasteurization or contamination during filling.

✅ Solution: Scraped Surface Pasteurization

Thick sauces require uniform heating. Our Scraped Surface Heat Exchangers (SSHE) process the product to its core without burning, effectively neutralizing yeast and bacteria. This ensures a shelf life of up to 24 months.

4. Problem: Syneresis (Water Release) and Texture Instability

Symptom: The sauce releases water at the edges when plated or has a jelly-like, shaky texture.

Cause: Incorrect starch selection or improper use of hydrocolloids (gums).

✅ Solution: Formulation and Recipe Consultancy

Machines alone are not enough. We determine the right Modified Starch and Gum combinations based on your product's pH and thermal process. We don't just install the machine; we optimize your recipe.
