An improved processing method and system for producing tomato paste and other food products affected by viscosity. Tomatoes are processed into tomato juice. The juice is provided to a decanter that separates or fractionates the juice into two portions--a thicker, more viscous cake portion and a thinner, less viscous serum portion. The serum portion is concentrated by removing a portion of water using an evaporator such as a thin film or juice evaporator. The cake portion can be concentrated if necessary with a drier. The serum and cake portions are recombined to produce a tomato paste having improved color, texture, flavor and nutrition.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing tomato paste using fractionation concentration, comprising: separating a tomato stream into a serum portion and a cake portion using a decanter that includes an inner weir, the serum portion comprising about 65-95% of the tomato stream by weight; removing water from the serum portion to form a concentrated serum portion; and combining the cake portion and the concentrated serum portion to yield the tomato paste, the tomato paste having a concentration of about 22-40 brix. 2. The method of claim 1, separating the tomato stream further comprising separating a tomato juice stream formed from raw tomatoes. 3. The method of claim 1, the serum portion having a concentration of about 3-16 brix. 4. The method of claim 1, the concentrated serum portion having a concentration of about 22-75 brix. 5. The method of claim 1, the cake portion comprising about 5-35% of the tomato stream by weight. 6. The method of claim 1, the cake portion having a concentration of about 3-13 brix. 7. The method of claim 1, the cake portion having a concentration of about 3-13 brix, the serum portion having a concentration of about 3-16 brix, and the concentrated serum portion having a concentration of about 22-75 brix. 8. The method of claim 1, the serum portion having up to about 10% insoluble solids. 9. The method of claim 1, the cake portion having about 5-60% insoluble solids. 10. The method of claim 1, separating the tomato stream further comprising adjusting a height of the inner weir to adjust the amount of the cake portion retained against an inner surface of the decanter. 11. The method of claim 1, the tomato paste having about 36% of the cake portion by weight. 12. The method of claim 1, the tomato paste having about 64% of the concentrated serum portion by weight. 13. The method of claim 1, the tomato paste having about 36% of the cake portion and about 64% of the concentrated serum portion by weight. 14. A method for producing tomato paste using fractionation concentration, comprising: separating a tomato stream into cake and serum portions using a decanter that includes an inner weir, the cake portion comprising about 5-35% of the tomato stream by weight; removing water from the serum portion to form a concentrated serum portion; and combining the cake portion and the concentrated serum portion to yield the tomato paste, the tomato paste having a concentration of about 22-40 brix. 15. The method of claim 14, separating the tomato stream further comprising separating a tomato juice stream formed from raw tomatoes. 16. The method of claim 14, the serum portion comprising about 65-95% of the tomato stream by weight. 17. The method of claim 14, the serum portion having a concentration of about 3-16 brix. 18. The method of claim 14, the concentrated serum portion having a concentration of about 22-75 brix. 19. The method of claim 14, the cake portion having a concentration of about 3-13 brix. 20. The method of claim 14, the cake portion having a concentration of about 3-13 brix, the serum portion having a concentration of about 3-16 brix, and the concentrated serum portion having a concentration of about 22-75 brix. 21. The method of claim 14, the serum portion having up to about 10% insoluble solids. 22. The method of claim 14, the cake portion having about 5-60% insoluble solids. 23. The method of claim 14, separating the tomato stream further comprising adjusting a height of the inner weir to adjust the amount of the cake portion retained against an inner surface of the decanter. 24. The method of claim 14, the tomato paste having about 36% of the cake portion by weight. 25. The method of claim 14, the tomato paste having about 64% of the concentrated serum portion by weight. 26. The method of claim 14, the tomato paste having about 36% of the cake portion and about 64% of the concentrated serum portion by weight. 27. A method for producing tomato paste using fractionation concentration, comprising: separating a tomato stream into a serum portion and a cake portion using a decanter that includes an inner weir, the serum portion comprising about 65-95% of the tomato stream by weight and the cake portion comprising about 3-35% of the tomato stream, the cake portion having a concentration of about 3-13 brix, and the serum portion having a concentration of about 3-16 brix; removing water from the serum portion to form a concentrated serum portion, the concentrated serum portion having a concentration of about 22-75 brix; and combining the cake portion and the concentrated serum portion to yield the tomato paste, the tomato paste having a concentration of about 22-40 brix and about 36% of the cake portion and about 64% of the concentrated serum portion by weight. 28. The method of claim 27, separating the tomato stream further comprising separating a tomato juice stream formed from raw tomatoes. 29. The method of claim 27, the serum portion having up to about 10% insoluble solids. 30. The method of claim 27, the cake portion having about 5-60% insoluble solids. 31. The method of claim 27, separating the tomato stream further comprising adjusting a height of the inner weir to adjust the amount of the cake portion retained against an inner surface of the decanter.
