Answer to reviewer 1
We thank our reviewer for analyzing our manuscript.
This manuscript describes the physicochemical properties of pectin gels obtained from Araçá fruits. The manuscript is well organized and is acceptable after revision.
-Add numerical values to the abstract
We add few values but it is difficult to add more because we have to respect the maximum lenght of the abstract
- The conclusion is very long.
Due to the large number of results in different aspects of the pectin characterization, we find difficult to reduce the conclusion.
Reviewer 2 Report
Nice work concerning the rheological study of pectin gels obtained from Araca fruits.
However, some minor modifications must be done. Please decrease the size of Figures 2-6, 7-17. Also, try to have the same size for the axes values.

First, the manuscript was revised by a native to get better english presentation. We hope it will be better now. There are many changes in the written version.
The figures were reduced and adapted to the dimension of the texte, the same for the tables.We tried to have the same size for the axis values but it was not really possible, being established from different experimental softwares. I hope it will not be a problem.
