Diseño de un proceso industrial para la obtención de compota, a partir del Orito (Musa Acuminata AA), para la Asociación de Producción Agropecuaria Tablas de la Florida (ASOPROTABF).

Abstract

The objective was to design an industrial process for obtaining compote, from the Orito banaba (Musa Acuminata AA), for the ASOPROTAB, located in the Tablas de la Florida Enclosure, first the orito banana was characterized, for the three type of maturation, indicating 34.4% of content of total solids , PH of 4,91 and Brix degrees of 24,8%, in addition of a yellow color of grade 1, was chosen the best formulation of three presented formulations, according to a panel of untrained judges and a discriminatory test, it was chosen that the formulation with the most acceptation was made with orito banana plus sugar and pectin, to this formulation physical chemical tests, microbiological were carried out, according to the technical standard NTE INEN 3078, also conducted additional tests of nutritional quality and vitamins; all these tests were performed in the LACONAL laboratory, the same that exceeded the established values and also a shelf life test was performed where it was obtained that the compote did not change its characteristics after 15 days of applied test. It was made the sizing of the equipment and technological proposal, to achieve complete the transformation and obtaining of compote. It is necessary to install in the plant a washing tank, belt conveyors, reception tables, industrial blender, homogenizing kettle, boiler, sterilizers and packers, concluding that, producing 8165 units of net content compote Equal to 130g, an annual profit equal to $27,719,11 will be obtained to recover the investment in the third year of production thus generating a dynamization of the Economy.
