Tomatoes may be preserved for long time by processing them in cans.

The cans are made of tin plate with special lacquer coating to avoid chemical contact between container surface with contents.

The lacquers are of different type plain, AR (acid resistant), R (Sulphur Resistant), MFR (Meat Fat Lacquer) etc. For tomato canning AR cans are used.

Peeled tomatoes either whole or cut are filled in the sterilized cans.

The proportion of tomatoes and covering liquid (brine or tomato juice) in the can are 45% and 55% respectively.
