This paper deals with the characterization and modeling of the non-linear rheological properties of tomato paste samples manufactured under different conditions (sieve pore size and breaking temperature). With this aim, flow measurements, dynamic linear viscoelastic and linear and non-linear stress relaxation tests have been carried out on the above-mentioned tomato paste samples. Different geometries with smooth and serrated surfaces have been used to optimize the viscous flow measurements and avoid wall-depletion phenomena. The viscous flow properties of tomato paste samples depend on water insoluble solids (WIS) content and particle size, which may be highly influenced by processing conditions. In general, viscosity follows a power-law relationship with tomato paste water insoluble content and particle diameter. A factorable non-linear viscoelasticity model, the Wagner integral equation, predicts the non-linear rheological response of these products under shear fairly well. The time-dependent part of this model is described by a continuous linear relaxation spectrum, calculated from regularization techniques. The use of the Soskey-Winter damping function provides the best predictions of the viscous flow curves.
