Elaboración artesanal de harinas con base en Amaranto (Amaranthus L.), Frejol (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) y Papa (Solanum Tuberosum L.) con un enfoque en su presentación, empaquetado y comercialización

Abstract

The objective of this thesis project is to produce high quality flours from amaranth, beans and potatoes, and use them in combination with other foods to improve their nutritional value. To achieve this, a thorough literature search will be carried out to gather all the necessary information, including information on the cultural history of these products, their nutritional value, and conventional treatment, preservation, cooking, and roasting-grinding techniques. The project also seeks to find a suitable packaging to preserve the aroma and flavor of the flours, and market them locally and nationally. The project methodology is based on a prior theoretical research process, followed by the transformation of the structure, chemistry and physics of the products to create the flours. A deductive scientific research methodology was used to collect theoretical and practical information on amaranth, beans and potatoes, and to experiment and create the processes of making flour in a culinary laboratory. The goal is to create natural flours that retain their original properties without additives. In short, this project seeks to rescue traditional and native flavors of the land, influence new generations with new sensations and flavors, and improve the nutritional value of food through the use of amaranth, bean, and potato flour combined with other foods. The methodology is based on theoretical and practical research, followed by experimentation in a culinary laboratory to create natural flours and preserve their original properties without additives.
