DOIAbstract
This study assessed the rheological behaviour, physical stability, and the phenolic compounds of Eugenia pyriformis Cambess. (uvaia) and Eugenia uniflora L. (pitanga) fruits. The effect of temperature on the rheological behaviour of the fruit was evaluated (10–60 °C) by means of non-oscillatory rheological analysis in a rheometer. The whole samples (purée) exhibited shear-thinning behaviour (n<1), whereas the centrifuged samples exhibited Newtonian behaviour (n=1). The Arrhenius equation accurately described the effect of temperature on the apparent viscosity of the fruit. The stability study was performed by means of sedimentation and turbidity testing. The stabilisation of purées occurred on the second (Eugenia pyriformis Cambess.) and on...
