Abstract

Abstract: The community of Gera of canton Saraguro, stands out for its gastronomy, customs and traditions. Guajango is a drink of great cultural importance for the inhabitants of Gera, which has been lost even to local people and is little known among national and foreign visitors. Therefore, this paper develops a proposal within the field of chocolate, to innovate in the use of guajango, without detracting from its cultural importance, promoting diversification in alternative gastronomic applications.It began with a bibliographic review and analysis on the most important topics, which were reinforced with information obtained directly from interviews in the community around the Guajango, its characteristics and cultural value. With this we proceeded to formulate the proposal based on the guajango, so that through experimentation and a qualitative analysis based on the data collected from the Focus Group, it established the good management of flavors, textures and aromas within the proposals presented (Chocolate with liquid filling, Chocolate with stuffed ganache and guajango Truffle)
