To determine the optimum mixing conditions of nopal jelly, samples were prepared with various compounding ratios of gelatin(16, 18, 20, 22 and 24g), sucrose(100, 120, 140, 160 and 180g), Citric acid(2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) using a central composite design. Physical and sensory evaluations were performed and considered using a response surface methodology. The optimum mixing rates which meet sensory items is gelatin 20.19g, sucrose 141.52g and citric acid 4.04g.
