Análisis de la cultura gastronómica del cantón Loja a través del estudio del aguacate - Desarrollo de una propuesta gastronómica

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzed the culinary culture of the Loja canton through the study of avocados. The objective was to analyze the potential impact of innovative culinary proposals based on avocados on the culinary culture of the Loja canton. Methodological strategies included documentary and bibliographic research and case studies, which facilitated the collection, organization, and analysis of relevant information on the use of avocados. This process was essential for structuring a culinary proposal based on solid and well-founded data. Additionally, an acceptability test was conducted to evaluate the combinations with avocado, powdered milk, skim milk, sugar, vodka, and additives, resulting in the acceptance of the product as such, taking into account that the liqueur generally pairs well with savory dishes, and with sweet dishes, depending on personal taste.
