Abstract

Tomato pulp blends prepared from tomato – watermelon – pineapple pulp in the ratios 1:1:1, 1:1:2 and 2:1:1 (v/v/v) were pasteurized and stored in brown crown corked bottles under refrigeration (5 ºC), ambient (29 ºC) and at 40 ºC in thermostatically controlled environment. Change in colour, viscosity and total antioxidant capacity were evaluated using Hunter L a b colourimetric, rotational viscometric and conductometric techniques. The a-values and redness factor (a/b)² changed from 28.89 and 1.77 to 30.22 and 2.83 after 40 days at 40 ºC in TWP 211p, and the increase in a-value and redness factor correlated positively (r2 ≥ 0.830) with the increase in total antioxidant capacity of blends.
