This microenterprise will start with an average production of 40 kg per day. The technical study proposes the manufacturing technology of the presented product and the physico-chemical parameters of the raw materials. Raw materials and equipment costs were, machinery and equipment supported by quotations from profit and national companies and the layout and geographical location of the plant was also determined. The technical study includes product formulation, process flow, production capacity, plant layout and location, and the proposed marketing mix.
