Tomato ketchup is a popular condiment made from ripe tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and spices. It originated in China as a fish-based sauce and later evolved into the familiar tomato-based version. Ketchup is used to add flavour to burgers, fries, eggs, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, and more. Its sweet-and-tangy taste makes it a popular choice for dipping and topping. Ketchup is also a source of lycopene, an antioxidant that may provide health benefits. Whether homemade or store-bought, tomato ketchup remains a staple in many households and a staple part of culinary culture worldwide.
Tomato ketchup is a thick, viscous condiment made primarily from tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and spices. It has a non-Newtonian, pseudoplastic or "shear thinning" viscosity due to the addition of xanthan gum. Ketchup is high in carbohydrates, with a low caloric intake, and contains vitamins C. It is typically red in colour due to the presence of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes. The pH of ketchup ranges from 3.5 to 4.0, making it slightly acidic. This acidity helps to preserve the product and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
The manufacturing process for tomato ketchup begins with pulping, where tomatoes are chopped, precooked, and then pumped into pulping machines or cyclones to separate the seeds, skins, and stems from the pulp. The pulp is then filtered through screens and added to cooking tanks and heated to boiling, typically above 80°C. Measured amounts of sweeteners (sugar), vinegar, salt, spices, and other flavourings are then added to the tomato pulp, and the mixture is cooked for 30-45 minutes with continuous circulation. Next, the mixture passes through a finishing machine, which removes excess fibre and particles, creating a smoother consistency. The ketchup is then deaerated to prevent discolouration and bacterial growth by removing excess air. The ketchup is filled into containers (bottles, cans, pouches, etc.) at a temperature not lower than 88°C to prevent contamination, and the containers are immediately sealed to retain freshness. The filled containers are cooled, either in cold air or cold water, to prevent flavour loss. Finally, the ketchup containers are inspected and labelled with information like ingredients, date, location of manufacture, and shelf-life.

Tomato ketchup is a versatile condiment that makes it a popular accompaniment to fast food staples like burgers, fries, and grilled or fried meats. The widespread presence of fast food joints and quick service restaurants has been a significant driver in the growth of the tomato ketchup market, as these establishments rely on the familiar flavour of tomato ketchup to appeal to a broad customer base. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases like diabetes has led to a growing demand for organic ketchups, which manufacturers must adapt to remain competitive in the market. For instance, River Cottage, in October 2022, launched a range of organic ketchups, which contains less than 10% sugar, is certified vegan-friendly, palm oil-free, organic, and gluten-free.
