  • By applying a vacuum pulse piquín chili pickle is completed in just 15 days.

  • Equations were obtained to predict with pickled conditions that yield a stable product (aw <0.95 and pH <3.5), with appropriate color and firmness.

  • Parameters were optimized stability piquín chile and pickled variables studied.

  • The piquín chili pickle with a vacuum pulse could be applied on an industrial scale to produce a storage stable and with better performance.
