Pumpkin and squash were studied in the production of sweet condensed caramelized milk "dulce de leche". The following treatments were studied: 1) pumpkin pulp, 2) squash pulp and 3) pumpkin and squash pulps. Experimental results showed that pumpkin pulp is the preffered one to be mixed with the "dulce de leche"; next is the mixture of the two pulps. The product containing squash pulp as well as the product containing pumpkin and squash pulps was classified in the degree of appreciation between "like" and "like very much". On the other hand the product with pumpkin pulp was classified in the degree of appreciation "indiferent". The most important attribute in the discrimination of the samples was the flavour.
