Diseño e implementación de un manual de buenas prácticas de manufactura (BPM) para la Fábrica de Aguardiente Artesanal Destilería Mayte en el cantón Morona, provincia Morona Santiago

Abstract

In the Mayte Distillery located in the Sinai parish, Morona canton, province of Morona Santiago, a diagnosis was made of the conditions under which artisanal aguardiente (alcoholic beverage) was made and in the function of its results, to elaborate and apply the Good Manufacturing Practices Manual (GMP) and, to verify the physical-chemical quality of the artisanal aguardiente produced, so that the experimental results were analyzed in the Chi-square test (X2), in compliance parameters and t-Student test, in physicochemical quality of the aguardiente. The results determined that in the initial conditions 18.05% of compliance was reached, with reengineering and distribution of the areas where the different processes are carried out, with significant changes in the final evaluation (92.92%), the physic-chemical composition also showed a significant improvement since the El Macabeo cane aguardiente has and alcoholic strength of 50 ᵒGL, and has the following composition measured in 100ml anhydrous alcohol, 14,40+0,11 g acidity, 0,71+0,01 g of esters, 0,001 g of aldehydes, 0,96+0,01 g of furfural, 239,88+0,92 g of higher alcohols, 0,73+0,01 g of methanol and 240,41+1,03 g of congeners; so it is recommended to carry out a permanent monitoring of the application of GMP, in order to ensure that this beverage is manufactured under adequate sanitary conditions
