The rheological behaviour of enzyme clarified Lime (Citrus aurontifolia L.) juice was studied as a function of the total soluble solid (TSS) content (7.3-55.7°Brix), corresponding water activity (aw) (0.985-0.831) at different temperatures (20-80oC) using co-axial controlled stress rheometer. The rheological parameter shear stress was measured up to the shear rate of 600 s-1. The investigation showed that the enzyme clarified lime juice and its concentrate behaved like a Newtonian fluid with the viscosity (η) being in the range 3.964 to 50.290 mPa s depending upon the concentration and temperature used. The temperature dependency on the viscosity of lime juice was described by Arrhenius equation (r > 0.99) and the activation energy (Ea) of viscous flow was in the range 4.151 to 26.050 kJ/mol depending upon the total soluble solids content. The effect of total soluble solid content on the flow activation energy was described by exponential type equation (r > 0.98) and that of water activity was described by both the power law and exponential equations (r > 0.99). The effect of total soluble solid content on the viscosity of lime juice followed the second order exponential equation (r > 0.99) at the temperature used. The effect of water activity on the viscosity was described by both the power law and exponential type relationship (r > 0.97). The equations relating to the combined effect of temperature and total soluble solids content/water activity on the viscosity of enzyme clarified lime juice were established.

Keywords: combined effect; power law model; exponential model; rheology; viscosity; Arrhenius equation; activation energy
