    The use of Andean crops for the incorporation into the development of fermented, products such as yogurt is a strategy that allows promoting the consumption of products that are disappearing. In this sense, the Andean crops found in this group present a good alternative for the development of products with differentiated nutritional value. In this investigation, purple sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) and white oca (Oxalis tuberosa) flours were used to develop the yogurt. The study was designed to evaluate the potential of flours from Andean crops and to know their effect on the nutritional, sensory, and technological properties of yogurt. Physicochemical parameters (pH, titleable acidity and color), proximal composition (moisture, ash, dietary fiber, carbohydrates, calories, and fat), analysis (viscosity) and consistency were analyzed. Likewise, an acceptance test was applied through sensory analysis to acept the effect of adding flour on the structure and texture of the yogurt during cold chain storage. The results were that the flours altered the structure of the yogurt, making it firmer and more cohesive, causing an increase in its viscosity without promoting changes in color parameters. In the case of purple sweet potato flour, the release of whey was significantly reduced during cold storage; therefore, it was shown that the addition of flours has potential as a natural stabilizer and as a source of dietary fiber in yogurts.
