Estudio de la confitería tradicional y elaboración de un catálogo para potenciar la cultura gastronómica dela ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research work is to study traditional confectionery and to develop a catalog to promote the gastronomic culture of the city of Loja; for constituting a legacy that has been passed down from generation to generation. However, there are sweets that are gradually disappearing from the market and are offered from time to time at fairs by producers in this province. Likewise, the production of confectionery is very laborious and its greatest demand occurs in the months of August, September and October due to the Loja fair, with its largest consumers being tourists from the province of Azuay. The traditional panela and peanut sandwich and the pouch eggs are the most widely accepted sweets. One of the main reasons for its low consumption by the inhabitants of this city is that there is nodiffusion. Reason for which a catalog is proposed that allows to disseminate all the necessary information, so that it can have more internal consumption and that of the tourists who visit the city.
