This is a brief report on the manufacturing project for tomato powder. Tomato powder is a perfect secret ingredient. A tablespoon of red powder adds an instant umami kick to your favorite sauces, soups, stews, and even baked goods. The intense flavor of the tomato is sweet, tart and delicious. Plus, you can toss that odd 6oz can of tomato paste to the curb, or at least toss the half-used one in the corner of the fridge. Tomato powder is produced from selected ripe tomatoes. Homemade versions are made by dehydrating tomato slices and pureeing them in a food processor. Spice Tomato Powder is made by drying premium tomato pulp into a perfect pouring powder. The final product concentrates the tomatoes in a ratio of about 20:1, giving you serious flavor potential. The most common use of tomato powder is as a substitute for tomato puree, saving you from opening a whole bunch for just a tablespoon or two. 
To make a paste, mix tomato powder and hot water. If you add more water, you can make a basic tomato sauce that is ready to customize. Don't stop at a tomato puree substitute, though. As Bon Appétit Editor-in-Chief Sarah Jampel explains, “Tomato powder can go where tomato paste can't! It's dry and springy, which means you can use it as a seasoning in a stew (chicken wings stuffed with tomatoes?!) or to flavor roasted vegetables or mixed nuts. ” Next time you're making soup—seriously, any soup - add some tomato powder. Not only will it add a delicious kick to your soup, but it will also add a beautiful red color. Sarah Jampel describes our tomato powder as "clown red and as sweet as the tiniest, ripest summer cherry tomato." This unique tomato flavor is especially useful for making homemade broths. Sometimes the broth tastes too watery and adding salt won't make up for the missing flavor. Tomato powder has a richness and sharpness that is almost meaty, giving your broth a well-balanced and delicious flavor. Chili con carne is another great recipe to try with tomato powder, which gives your homemade chili a richer, deeper flavor. The same goes for sauces. Tomato sauces, curries, barbecue sauces and even marinades can benefit from a tablespoon of tomato powder. The unique physical property of tomato powder gives it a special advantage in the kitchen. 
This works especially well when baking bread, as seen in the Tomato Basil Bread recipe below. Just stir the tomato powder and herbs into the flour before adding the yeast and water. You can even try mixing tomato powder into your bread mix or flour mix. Chicken or eggplant parmesan would be great for that extra flavor in the crust. Try adding tomato powder to your homemade spice mix. Combine garlic powder, pepper, oregano, salt, and tomato powder for an Italian-style spice blend perfect for fish, chicken, or pork chops. Like spices, tomato powder should be stored in a cool, dark place with low humidity. Stored properly, tomato powder will keep indefinitely. Clumping is common even when stored properly. Use a butter knife to break up the lumps before using them in cooking. Need ideas for ways to use tomato powder? Check out all the amazing ways to use tomato powder in meals, snacks, and even desserts! From tomato paste: Just start with tomato paste any time of the year if you can't grow your own. From fresh tomatoes: Sun-dried tomatoes, including the fleshy part AND the skins, or just the skins if you have leftover pulp from canning tomatoes. At 125°F/52°C until completely dry. If you don't choose to make tomato powder, you can purchase commercial dried tomato powder from various companies, including Augason Farms or Thrive.

Mix with whipped cream cheese and some salt, garlic and onion powder (and bits of dried vegetables) to use as a sandwich spread Sprinkle tomato powder on a mini bagel, top with cheese and you have a "cleaner" mini pizza bagel 
Tomato Powder Manufacturing This second paragraph will talk about the manufacturing process for tomato powder. This project designs a plant that will process 250 tons of raw tomatoes per day. The duration of this production was spread over 24 hours and worked 300 days a year, yielding 17.5 tons of tomato powder per day. From these specifications, the best process path was synthesized. The selected process includes selecting and sorting the tomatoes, washing the tomatoes, blanching, blending, spray drying (as a drying process), packaging and labeling. Three series of investigations, the most possible The way to dry tomato powder on an industrial scale was the spray drying method because the process was very fast, required low labor costs, and was relatively easy to operate and maintain. Particle size was also easy to control with this technology, making it easy to correlate with product standards. The equipment to be used was then identified, including machine vision, spray washing machine, water blanching, industrial mixer, spray dryer and powder packing machine. The material and energy balance around the entire plant was assessed. Process diagram and basic flow chart piping and instrumentation diagrams were also calculated using engineering software such as Microsoft Visio. From the previous work, the selected process unit, the spray dryer, was designed with a detailed piping and instrumentation diagram built around it. 
The location of the plant, near Oriental Food along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, was decided upon. It was necessary to locate the plant in a place where raw materials could be easily supplied. IS The chosen area was directly connected to a major highway, the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, making transportation quite accessible. The layout of the site was taken together with the layout of the plant. The layout clearly shows the standard flow process. Tomato is an edible red fruit that has a high nutritional value and is versatile in the food industry. However, it spoils easily. It is estimated that about 65% of tomatoes produced in Nigeria spoil due to lack of storage (Hayes, Smith, & Morris, 2010). A feasibility study was done on the project and it was concluded that yes it is technically feasible to construct the plant because the equipment is available, the process routes are feasible, and the process conditions are achievable. The best way to produce tomato powder on an industrial scale is to use the spray drying method. This method was chosen because it was very rapid, required low labor costs, and was relatively easy to perform, and the particle size of the product could be easily controlled. The location chosen for our plant is in Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. 
It will be next to Oriental Foods Industries Limited. It has an area of 4,000 km2 and a population of 202,725 as of 2006. It borders four. local governments, Ibadan South West, Ibadan South East, Ona Ara and Ido genial government all within Ibadan city. The site was chosen because of its proximity to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and the availability of labor and land. The aims and objectives of the chemical engineering design project were to respond to the challenges arising from the perishable qualities of tomatoes by selecting a process route for a plant to manufacture a tomato powder processing plant while carrying out a feasibility study , to serve as an indicator of the technical and economic viability of the process, a 75,000 tpa plant is designed in Oyo State, Nigeria. Among the major challenges we faced at the factory in processing tomato powder were the volatility of tomato prices and the maintenance product quality. These and other challenges were addressed through proper project management and maintenance practices. Tomato varieties available in the market including Dandino, Danyeka, UTC, Roma, Ibadan local etc. 
They had different flavors and coloring and for quality and attractive production it is possible to mix varieties as well as Dandino (which has the sweetest taste. ) and UTC (which has the brightest deep red color) (Abdulmalik et al., 2014 ). The best types of tomatoes grown or cultivated in Nigeria are Roma tomatoes. These acidic tomatoes are known for their chewy flesh and relatively low water content, about 93% moisture content, making them a good choice for ISSN 2601-6303 (Print) ISSN 2601-6311 (Online) making tomato powder (Jayathunge et al., 2012). So, for this design, Roma tomatoes will be our choice for producing tomato powder. The raw tomatoes are sourced from Kano, Taraba, Gombe, Bauchi, Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina and Jigawa states. This was administered to maintain the high capacity that had to be processed per day.
