The given flowchart illustrates the process of producing tomato ketchup.
From the chart, it can be clearly seen that this man-made process comprises 15 stages, commencing with tomatoes being picked from trees and ending with finished products being used to complement other foods.
Initially, fresh tomatoes are picked from trees and put into baskets by the farmers; those are then sorted based on their good or bad quality using several techniques. Following this, good-quality ones are dispatched to the producer by truck, where freshly picked tomatoes are carefully eliminated their skin, stalk, and seeds. Subsequently, these peeled tomatoes are put into a container, where they are intensely crushed into a liquid form. After that, a variety of flavors are added to tomato liquid in order to give off a tasty taste, followed by the mixture being boiled at a specific degree with a closed lid. It is then left to cool down for two hours.
The process continues with the ketchup mixture being poured into bottles before being labeled and going through the quality control stage. After that, checked products are packaged into an 11-box and distributed to retailers and supermarkets to meet consumer’s demands. The process ends with processed ketchup being used complementarily to other food, namely hamburgers and fries.
