Juice extracted from sea buckthorn fruits was subjected to dynamic rheo
logica
l measurements in acontro
lled stress rheometer. Sea buckthorn juice exhibited wide variations in f
low behavior frompseudop
lastic to di
litant with increasing temperature. The power
law mode
l suitab
ly (

law at shear stress above 1 Pa butdeviated from it at
low shear stress of 0.1 Pa. The rheo

l behavior of sea buckthorn serumobtained after centrifugation of the juice was simi
lar to those of the juice and sucrose so
lution athigh shear rate but differed from them at
low shear rate. Addition of ethano
