All parts of the plant are used by humans. In Senegal, baobab pulp is widely consumed; it is used as raw material in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for making juices, concentrates, jams, powder. Drinks or juices from baobab are highly appreciated by consumers; however rapid fermentation can happen even after pasteurization that can shorten their shelf-life. A Doehlert experimental design was used to find a good scale of heat treatment ensuring a proper conservation of baobab juice. Results of the experimental design showed that a heat treatment of 80&deg;C for 10 min gives a baobab juice with good sanitary quality that meets the international standards. %K Baobab Juice %K Scale of Pasteurization %K Doehlert Experimental Plan %K Response Surface Method %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=98524
