DETERMINATION OF THE QUALITY OF GRANULATED PANELA PRODUCED AT THE SAN CARLOS ENCLOSURE-JIPIJAPA.

DETERMINACIÓN DE LA CALIDAD DE LA PANELA GRANULADA

Abstract

Based on the agricultural problems of the San Carlos site in Jipijapa, it was proposed to generate an economic alternative to the processing of sugarcane; In order to obtain one more derivative of this product, such as granulated panela, for which the requirement of a bromatological analysis of the product was not only necessary, since a prefeasibility study was also necessary to determine the viability of Produce in large volumes and launch this product obtained from the study area indicated above. It was possible to determine both the quality and feasibility parameters using the processed and processed matter, which was subsequently sent to a bromatological laboratory to identify its quality and composition; and for its competitiveness with products of the same characteristics already existing in the market, it was necessary to apply information gathering techniques to the people who handle this product in the market and to those who carry out the process of generating granulated panela; It is also important to emphasize that not all producers produce granulated panela; for production costs, materials, equipment and raw material suitable for this process. From the results obtained from both the bromatological analysis and the prefeasibility study, its viability to the elaboration of this product was determined by the farmers who dedicate themselves to this work, mentioning that it would be more profitable if they had the support of governmental and financial entities; allowing economic and social development to its inhabitants.
