Sweet Potato and Amaranth Chips and their Economic Analysis

Abstract

The study aims to take advantage of the nutritional benefits of purple sweet potato and amaranth since these products are not traditionally used in the food industry, generating nutritional and economic losses due to their poor nutritional use. For this reason, through the production of sweet potato and amaranth cookies, we seek to promote the use of these foods, giving them an added value in their industrialization, starting with the transformation of the raw material into flour and subsequently elaborate cookies chips, which allows this product to be directed to all people of any age due to its nutritional benefits, for which a bromatological, industrial and economic analysis validated through the analysis of variance and the cost-benefit of the industrialized product, it is concluded that it is beneficial to carry out the industrialization of sweet potato and amaranth.
