    Determinación de escenarios de la producción de alimentos frente al Cambio Climático en la Provincia de Tungurahua tomando como muestra los cultivos de maíz (Zea mays), papa (Solanum tuberosum), mora (Rubus ulmifolius) y tomate de árbol (Solanum betaceum)

    In Ecuador, the study of the climate is a complicated subject because there are few records, especially in remote areas where it is known that there are negative effects of Climate Change, however, they have not been quantified, creating uncertainty by not having information for a analysis of future consequences and makes it difficult to implement actions to combat the effects of the climate. Pests and diseases in crops, the increase in temperature, water scarcity and the variation of rainfall are the impacts that affect agricultural production and the availability of food. To determine the impact of the Climate Change Scenarios in Ecuador on the production of blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius), tree tomato (Solanum betaceum), corn (Zea mays), and potato (Solanum tuberosum) in the province of Tungurahua was used The GAMS software, with the use of linear programming and based on databases, surveys and information collected, provided data on the future consequences of the studied crops as a result. With the analysis of each result on the incidence of water scarcity aggravated by Climate Change, it is established that the only crop that would be able to resist this change by 2050 would be corn, which could generate an increase in prices of The crops forging problems for the Food Security of Ecuador by not having enough resources to maintain production and supply the population.

    Mejora de la conservación postcosecha del tomate de árbol (Solanum betaceum Cav.) variedad mora mediante atmósferas modificadas

    The present study addressed the effect of various atmospheres on the physical-chemical, sensory and microbiological quality of the tree tomato (Solanum betaceum Cav.) “mora” variety stored in refrigeration at 4 Celsius degrees for 10 days. In the first part of the experimentation, the physical-chemical characterization of the fruit was determined in the different state of maturity (green, half-ripe and ripe). During the second part, fruits harvested at maturity state 5 and without physiological hurt were stored under five modified gas mixtures: G1, 2.5 percent O2, 2.5 percent CO2 and 95 percent N2; G2, 2.5 percent O2, 5 percent CO2 and 92.5 percent N2; G3, 80 percent O2, 10 percent CO2 and 10 percent N2; G4, 80 percent O2, 20 percent CO2 and 0 percent N2 and G5, 90 percent O2, 10 percent CO2 and 0 percent N2. The respiration rate was determined on days 1, 4, 7 and 10, in triplicate. In addition, physical-chemical analysis, sensory and microbiological quality determinations were carried out in the same way in triplicate, on the same days. The gas mixture G1 allowed reducing the respiratory rate of oxygen consumption. Similarly, gaseous mixtures G2, G3, G4 and G5 allowed reducing the respiratory rate of carbon dioxide production. The gas mixture G3 allowed to have better results in luminosity (L *) and Chroma (C *) but caused greater irregularity in maturation. The gas mixture G4 allowed to have better results in Chroma (C*) and hue (h degrees), having no significant differences for the rest of parameters.
