Tomato products: pulp, ketchup, and chili sauce.

After having once decided on the amount of ingredients to be used, the
manufacture may be standardized. Supposing for instance on evaporating
800 gallons of partly concentrated pulp of Brix of filtrate (5.10)
to approximately 334 gallons (calculated from the 1.050 column in
Table 9) it has been found that the use of 301 pounds of sugar, 26.7
gallons of 100 grain vinegar, 66.8 pounds of salt and 50.2 pounds
of onions together with spices gives ketchup of the flavor desired.
Dividing the amount of each ingredient by 334, it is found that each
gallon of finished ketchup contains .9 pound of added sugar, .2 pound
of salt, .15 pound of onions, and about 10 ounces of vinegar. After
having determined the amount of each ingredient per gallon of finished
ketchup, it is easy to make a table giving the amount of ingredients
necessary for a given volume of cyclone juice or concentrated pulp of
any gravity. In Table 11 such calculations are made. This table is
based on securing a ketchup having the consistency of 1.050 pulp and
starting with 800 gallons of boiling pulp of specific gravity 1.0220
(Brix reading of filtrate 5.10). Some manufacturers may desire to base
the amount of ingredients on 100 gallons or multiple of 100 gallons of
finished ketchup. This may be done by first making out a table similar
to 9 and then calculating the amount of pulp and other ingredients for
100 gallons of ketchup. This would, however, involve considerable work
as unless the pulp used had a constant specific gravity, a calculation
of the quantity of each ingredient would have to be made for the volume
of pulp for each batch.

to 800 Gallons of Boiling, Partly Concentrated Pulp_
