High lycopene ketchup manufacturing method, high lycopene ketchup, and method for achieving both high concentration of lycopene and suppression of increase in viscosity
[PROBLEMS] To achieve both a high concentration of lycopene and a suppression of an increase in viscosity in ketchup. [Means for Solving Problems] The inventor of the present application has intensively studied and found out to prepare a depulped tomato juice having a high pH. More specifically, the pH of the processed tomato product in the pulp removal process in the pulp removal tomato juice production is 4.35 or more, and the pulp removal tomato juice and tomato paste or tomato puree are prepared.
