Design, build and measure Bostwick consistency of thickened foods at an objective level, since Bostwick consistency is critical for their quality control. This study examined the relationship of the extension or route in the Bostwick (that is, the distance that a liquid flows) for a variety of foods that are sold in the Sullana Market and determined whether the flow distance visually differentiated the thickness of food versus honey-like consistency. Four thickened products (mustard, dressing, mayonnaise and honey) purchased from the Sullana Market were tested. Measurements were recorded using the Bostwick consistometer. Bostwick consistencies of thickened and honey-like foods differed significantly in their degree of travel. Using our Bostwick consistometer, B10s: 13 cm in honey (83.95°Brix), B30s: 2.2 cm in mustard (12.3°Brix), B10s: 4.3 cm in mayonnaise (0.25°Brix) and dressing (7....

In food technology, the consistency measurement of many thick or pasty products such as sauces or fruit or vegetable pastes is recorded. The problem in engineering lies in the design and construction of a flow device that allows evaluating the consistency of pasty or thick foods, for which it has actually been reformulated as an empirical flow channel device following the model of the “Bostwick consistometer” through the "Bostwick consistency", which is used by researchers to define technical terms, such as tomato sauce. The objective has been to design and build an instrument, where the thick or pasty food is released into a specially made channel and the distance that the food has slipped after a certain time interval is measured, usually 30 seconds; this gives the thick or pasty food “Bostwick consistency”, for example a tomato puree, B30 (Bostwick 30 seconds) can only be cons...

En esta investigación se realizó una simulación numérica del tratamiento térmico y pasteurización de puré de camote, enfocándose en la distribución de calor en diferentes ubicaciones del baño maría (centro, izquierda y derecha). Se identificó que la posición central presentó la mayor velocidad de calentamiento (fh = 47,0521 min). El puré se elaboró a partir de la pulpa del camote y se determinó que el punto más lento en calentarse fue el centro geométrico del recipiente cilíndrico de vidrio. Al comparar los resultados experimentales con la simulación por elementos finitos, se observaron pequeñas discrepancias en los valores del factor de retraso (jh) con una variación de Δ = 0,0235 y del fh con Δ = 0,7 min. Sin embargo, el coeficiente de determinación R² cercano a 1 y un error cuadrático medio de 1,063 °C indicaron una buena precisión en las predicciones. Se...
