Ever wondered how Kissan ketchup is made and why it’s so loved across Indian households? Behind every bottle is a careful mix of high-quality tomatoes, a balanced spice blend, and cutting-edge food processing techniques.

Let’s take you inside the ketchup factory and also show why Kolar Red Gold is the preferred supplier of tomatoes for food manufacturers and exporters across India.

🌱 Step 1: Where It All Begins – Tomato Sourcing

The foundation of how Kissan ketchup is made starts with sourcing the right tomatoes:

  • Fully ripe
  • High pulp content
  • Low seed count
  • Naturally sweet (high Brix)

The top sourcing regions include:

  • Kolar, Karnataka
  • Nashik, Maharashtra
  • Madanapalle, Andhra Pradesh

Tomatoes from Kolar are known for their firmness, shelf life, and pulp-rich quality—perfect for ketchup processing.

🍳 Step 2: Cooking the Tomato Pulp – The Hot Break Method

To get the perfect base:

  • Tomatoes are pulped and cooked at 85–100°C
  • This inactivates enzymes while retaining natural pectin
  • The result: a thicker, more stable ketchup

This heating step is a key part of how Kissan ketchup is made to maintain texture and consistency.

🧪 Step 3: The Spice & Flavor Formula

Kissan’s taste comes from a precise mix of:

  • Tomato concentrate
  • Sugar & Salt
  • Vinegar (Acetic Acid)
  • Spices and condiments (onion, garlic)
  • Natural or nature-identical flavoring agents

This proprietary blend is at the heart of how Kissan ketchup is made to suit the Indian palate.

🧴 Step 4: Mixing, Bottling & Finishing

The final steps include:

  • Homogenization for smooth, pourable texture
  • Hot-filling into bottles and pouches
  • Airtight sealing to prevent microbial contamination
  • Cool-down for long shelf life (9–12 months)

🧼 Step 5: Hygiene & Food Safety Standards

To ensure safety and quality:

  • Kissan uses FSSAI-certified processes
  • Implements HACCP protocols
  • No human contact during bottling
  • Regular batch-wise lab testing

That’s how Kissan ketchup is made—clean, consistent, and safe for every family.
