Abstract

This research present the characterization bromatological, physico-chemical, microbiological and rheological borojo fresh pulp (Borojoa patinoi Cuatrec), which are of interest in the industrial processing of this pulp. Samples of intact borojo pulp were analyzed. These samples are coming from Los Ríos Province (Ecuador), the amount of pulp obtained was 82.3% respecting the whole fruit. The pulp presents a low pH and an important level of carbohydrates and calcium. The borojo pulp obtained was microbiological high quality, with microorganism counts inside the ranges normatively allowed. Rheological behavior is characterized by oscillatory and flow tests at different temperatures.The results showed that the borojo pulp behaves as a non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluid, where the viscosity has a more elastic behavior than viscous similar to a gel.The results of the tests oscillatory and flow shows that temperature influenced on rheological behavior of borojo pulp.
