Abstract Prickly pear fruit were peeled and pulped in pulper machine. The strained pulp wa 1I ed for pr paring Prickl par (p.P.) pulp. TIl pulp was frozen and stored at -1 o for 12 months, The effects of frozen storage on physical chemical, micro iological ROO .ensory propertie were tudied. The r mlts indicated that chemical compc irion of P.P. pulp WaS lightly changed ex ept Vit. C wa deere;’! ed harply TIle P.P. pulp was used for preparation of canned P.P. nectar which wa used to determine the heat resistance parameters of pectin methyle tera e. The obtaine iD lind Z value D::: = I .. - min iere used to evaluate the carried out thermal proce of canned P.P nectar. Heating penetration curves for beating and cooling proces es were calculated, Chemical properties microbiological tams and sensory cham t risri of canned P.P. nectars were determined. The trained P.P. pulp was concentrated by 1’’\/0 m thods. The bemical analysis and ell my evaluation of P.P. pulp and P.P. COIl entrates Were d termined. The rheological behavior of P.P. pulp nectar find con. entrares were measured and the.rheological parameters were calculated using Bingham, IP pa te and Pov er law models. The obtained data bowed that prickly pear products were pesudiopla lie behavior with thixtrop . |
