  • Temperature: The tomato paste is heated to a higher temperature range of approximately 93 to 104°C.

  • Time: The paste is held at this elevated temperature for a longer duration, usually around 22 to 30 minutes.

  • pH: Similar to cold break tomato paste, the pH level is adjusted to around 4.0 to 4.5 to inhibit microbial growth.
