Abstract

Physical properties of fluid and semisolid foods, such as density and rheological behavior, must be carefully taken into account on designing unit operations for the processing of such kind of products. In this work, a rotational rheometer of concentric cylinders was used to evaluate the rheological behavior of red guava pulp (Psidium guajava L.), with different soluble solids content (5, 10, and 15°Brix), at four temperatures (10, 30, 50, and 70°C). Also density data were obtained using pycnometry. Models were fitted to the obtained experimental data, in order to mathematically represent the rheological parameters and the density as functions of temperature and soluble solids content. The rheological behavior of the red guava pulp was adequately described by the Ostwald-de-Waele model, with a pseudoplastic behavior. Models to describe the simultaneous effect of temperature and concentration on the density were also presented.
