Time analysis of life in the development of marmalade higuerón (Cucurbita Odorifera Vell) with carrot (Daucus Carota)

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine the lifespan in making jam by higueron and carrot mixture, motivated by the lack of a number of species of tubers and vegetables, as evidenced by the low consumption of these foods and the lack of appropriate technology for processing the same. The two raw materials are high in vitamins and minerals, higueron suitable for their characteristics and chemical composition is considered a fruitvegetable, it is possible it industrialization similar to those made with fruits, like the carrot is a food products excellent from the nutritional point of view, contributing to improve the quality of the jam. The treatments were kept under ambient conditions for 40 days when pH were recorded - soluble solids (° Brix) - Heartburn - Microbiological and organoleptic analysis in order to identify the best experimental treatment tests. According to the results obtained and microbiological analysis establishes a lifetime about 6 months.
