Item Formulación de una galleta funcional para el aprovechamiento de las propiedades nutricionales de la harina de chocho (Lupinus mutabilis)(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Alimentos, 2024-08) Salazar Yanalá, Carlos Andrés; Fuentes Pérez, Esteban MauricioNowadays, the population's perspective on health and nutrition has changed radically due to the growing awareness of diseases resulting from poor nutrition. In this regard, lupin flour (Lupinus mutabilis) emerges as an interesting alternative ingredient for the development of functional foods due to its high protein and fibre content. This study formulated a functional cookie using lupin flour, and analysed the physicochemical, rheological and textural properties of both the flour and the cookie with the best acceptability, after performing a sensory acceptability evaluation and triangulating with the other cookie formulations. The flour revealed high protein (49.58 percent) and total dietary fibre (24.40 percent) content compared to wheat flour. The lupin flour cookie also had a remarkable protein percentage (26.31 percent) five times higher than commercial wheat flour cookies. In the texture analysis, it was found that the lupin flour gave the cookies more hardness and fracturability. Finally, rheological analysis at Mixolab indicated that lupin flour has comparable dough development (120 Nm) and swelling power (0.50 Nm) to wheat flour. The study suggests that the developed lupin flour cookie could be a possible snack alternative for coeliacs with high protein content and a pleasant level of acceptability for all types of consumers.Item Desarrollo de una galleta a partir de trigo (Triticun aestivum L.) sustituido parcialmente con una mezcla de harina de chocho tierno (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) y almidón de achira (Canna edulis Ker Gawl)(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Alimentos, 2024-08) Carrera Sánchez, Michael Alexander; Flores Tapia, Nelly EstherCurrently, the food industry has undergone a remarkable transformation to meet the demand for more nutritious and healthy products. This change has led to the development of cookies that include unconventional ingredients in their composition. The present research proposes an innovative solution by incorporating tender lupin flour (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) and achira starch (Canna edulis Ker Gawl) to increase the protein and fiber content in the cookies. Initially, tender lupin flour was produced, and its physicochemical, nutritional, and microbiological aspects were analyzed, showing values comparable to those of dry lupin flour, making it suitable to produce nutritious foods. To leverage the nutritional potential of this legume, cookies were formulated by partially substituting wheat flour with tender lupin flour and achira starch in percentages of 10, 20 and 30. The cookies from the best treatment were determined through a sensory analysis, which evaluated bromatological quality, microbiological safety, and texture. This analysis revealed a significant increase in protein and fiber levels, a product free of microorganisms, and a texture with hardness and fracturability values of 4.22 N. Therefore, the incorporation of tender lupin flour and achira starch in the formulation of cookies not only meets rigorous quality standards but also offers outstanding sensory attributes. This advancement significantly contributes to the availability of healthier and more nutritious food options in the current market.Item ¬¬Enriquecimiento de una galleta de trigo mediante la sustitución parcial con chía (Salvia hispanica L.)(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Alimentos, 2024-02) Espín Noboa, Alexis Sebastián; Paredes Escobar, Mayra LilianaCookies are among the most popular and consumed products in Ecuador. However, the fast pace of life of consumers creates a need for foods that are easy to access, quick to consume, and benefit their health. Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) is a pseudocereal with diverse functional properties, named as a superfood for its high amount of protein, antioxidants, fiber and fatty acids, beneficial to humans. This study aims to solve this social problem by generating a cookie with a higher amount of protein, fiber, and vitamins. Three formulations were proposed with a partial substitution of 10 percent of wheat flour. The ingredients were mixed to form dough that was laminated and baked. The best formulation was determined through sensory analysis, and proximate and oxidative rancidity analyses were developed. Hardness and fracturability were measured between the treatments. Sensory analysis determined formulation 544 to be the best, highlighting significant differences in color and flavor attributes among the three types of cookies. Proximal analysis showed an increase in protein and fiber contents in the best formulation, indicating nutrient enrichment. Rheological analysis showed an increase in the hardness of treatment 197 compared to the other treatments. Finally, oxidative rancidity analysis determined a shelf life of 304 days in the best formulation with a microbiological analysis that guarantees the safety of the product during storage.Item Elaboración de galletas a base de harina de higo (Ficus carica) y harina de avena (Avena sativa) utilizando tres tipos de edulcorantes (panela, azúcar blanca y eritritol) para jóvenes adultos de 18-25 años(Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ciencia e Ingeniería en Alimentos y Biotecnología. Carrera de Alimentos, 2023-03) Quelal Peralta, Martha Lizeth; Morales Acosta, Dayana CristinaCookies are one of the most desired snacks for both children, youth, and adults. However, a large part of the biscuit industries makes their products from refined wheat flour, butter, highly caloric sweeteners and ingredients whose nutritional contribution is low. In this study, the elaboration of cookies from fig flour (Ficus carica) and oat flour (Avena sativa) using three types of sweeteners (panela, white sugar and erythritol) was proposed for young adults aged 18-25; with the purpose of providing a food with a sensory, physical, and nutritional composition that adapts to the requirements of consumers. For the development of the investigation, different formulations were used in relation to the proportions of fig flour (HH) and oat flour (HA) (30:70, 50:50 and 70:30), in addition to the type of sweetener (panela, sugar and erythritol). To determine the best treatment, sensory parameters (color, odor, taste, texture, and acceptability) were evaluated using an incomplete block design, and textural properties using a Brookfield texturometer. The best formulation obtained was a1b1 (30 percent HH, 70 percent HA and sweeteners). The proximal analysis of the best treatment was obtained: 2.90 percent moisture, 8.23 percent protein, 16.22 percent fiber, 20.77 percent fat, and an energy content of 419 kilocalories per-100 grams of product. The cookie could be an alternative to complement the diet of people between 18 and 25 years of age.Item Plan estratégico de negocio y análisis de factibilidad para la creación de la empresa INDAPAC, en la ciudad de Ambato(Universidad Técnica de Ambato.
