To identify the best quality tomato paste, observe how the paste mixes with oil when frying. High-quality tomato paste blends smoothly with oil, forming a perfectly homogeneous sauce. But when you add counterfeit or low-quality tomato paste to oil, it clumps into pieces and resists mixing.
Some factories or workshops usually add counterfeit tomato paste, squash, starch, ground bread, or baked potatoes to the paste.
Rolling of the paste in the oil can also indicate the composition of pumpkin, starch, etc. inside the tomato paste. If you heat the paste in oil and black spots form in the oil, again this indicates the low quality of the paste, which contains a lot of impurities.
If you scoop the paste with a spoon and it leaves marks in the container, this shows the paste contains pumpkin. This paste will certainly mold, and ground dry bread in the tomato paste causes this molding.
To detect squash in tomato paste, mix a tablespoon of paste in a glass of water. If the water is slightly red, it is tomato paste, and if it is orange or yellow, it is pumpkin.
