(red mangrove) gel under 2 storage conditions. the three pilot batches (gm01, gm02 and gm03) were stored at two temperature settings: 40 ¡À 2 ¡ãc for three months and 25 ¡À 2 ¡ãc for 6 months. one physical-chemical and microbiological evaluation was performed in two periods of time: at the months 0, 1, 2 and 3 for the first and at the months 0, 1, 2, 3 y 6 for the second tested storage condition. all the batches stored at both temperatures showed stable organoleptic characteristics and extensibility, the ph ranged from 6 to 7 and rheology confirmed a non-newtonian fluid of herschel bulkley-type in the evaluated periods of time. the minimum inhibitory concentration remained 8 to 10 mg/ml whereas the tannin concentration ranged 13 to 30 mg/g. all the batches were within the allowable microbial limits. the red mangrove gel showed good stability under accelerated temperatures, but this is an aspect that requires to be confirmed in a future on-shelf stability study. %K accelerated stability %K rhizophora mangle l %K red mangrove %K gel. %U http://scielo.sld.cu/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0034-75152011000400011&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
