The influence of process variables in the cooking fondant syrup stage on texture of the same one was studied. Experimental at laboratory scale were carried out in three levels for each variable: temperature of syrup cooking (116, 119 and 122 ºC) and sugar: corn syrup ratio (4:1, 6:1 and 8:1). The results of the sensorial characteristics cut, softness and firmness were analyzed by methodology of reponse surface. The texture attributes were affected mostly by the cooking temperature. For adhesiveness and elasticity it was not possible to adjust a model that described their behavior.
