Soybean has good properties for industrial application, including tofu production. Cultivar is one of the major factors that influence food product making potential of soybeans. This study aimed to perform the physicochemical characterization of grains, tofu and okara, as well as the sensory analysis of tofu produced from seven different experimental lines of soybean. CAC TNS showed the lowest 100 grain mass, which was equal to 12.43 g. The protein content of the cultivars showed no significant difference, which ranged from 27.77 % to 36.82 %. For tofu yield, there was no significant difference between all cultivars. Tofu of CP-09, CP-27 and CAC TNS cultivars showed the highest protein concentration and were equal to 12.76 %, 11.58 % e 11.20 %, respectively. Tofu from CP-02, CP-09, CP-12, CAC TN and CAC TNS cultivars had the highest scores for the flavor parameter. However, only tofu from CAC TN and CAC TNS had higher scores for the aroma parameter. Regarding the texture, the tofu from CP-09, CAC TN and CAC TNS showed the highest scores. Thus, CAC TNS cultivar is the most suitable to produce tofu for providing a product with better sensorial acceptance and high nutritional value. The okara obtained from the different cultivars showed considerable amounts of proteins, lipids, minerals and carbohydrates, constituting a potential residue for human consumption. These results could be used as auxiliary guide of tofu manufacturers during raw material selection with characteristics more acceptable by consumers.

The main objective of this work was to design the industrial process for the elaboration of quinoa extruded (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) of vanilla, chocolate and passion fruit flavors. The first step was the physical, bromatological and microbiological characterization of the raw material according to the ‘NTE INEN 1673 (2013): Quinoa Requirements’. Next, both the laboratory and industrial processes were performed, in which the unitary operations suitable for precise design were determined, including extrusion, evaporation, mixing and drying. Simultaneously, data of the necessary processes were taken (humidity, temperature and time) which facilitated all engineering calculations essential to generate a daily production using 17 kg of natural quinoa extrude to obtain 22,702 kg of vanilla, 23,491 kg of chocolate or 24,137 kg of passion fruit values that were determined by mass balances. With these processed samples, a sensory evaluation was conducted using a preference test in which the vanilla flavor obtained a 63.03% acceptability, followed by passion fruit with 20.72%, and finally chocolate with 16.22%. Once it was completed, the design was validated through the ‘NTE INEN 2570 (2011): grain, cereal and seed snacks. Requirements’, recording values within the limits recommended by the norm. Thus, the product is suitable for human consumption. Keywords: Humidity, Extrusion, Mass balance, food safety, Statgraphycs (software). Resumen El presente trabajo tuvo por principal objetivo diseñar el proceso industrial para la elaboración de extruido de quinua (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) sabor a vainilla, chocolate y maracuyá, donde para cumplirlo se inició con la caracterización física, bromatológica y microbiológica de la materia prima acorde a la ‘NTE INEN 1673 (2013): Quinua. Requisitos.’, seguido a esto se desarrolló el proceso tanto a nivel de laboratorio como industrial en donde se determinaron las operaciones unitarias idóneas para un diseño preciso entre las que constan la extrusión, la evaporación, el mezclado y el secado, a la vez se tomaron los datos necesarios de las variables del proceso (humedad, temperatura y tiempo) que ayudarían a realizar todos los cálculos de ingeniería indispensables para generar una producción diaria que utiliza 17 kg de extruido de quinua natural para obtener 22,702 kg de vainilla, 23,491 de chocolate o 24,137 kg de maracuyá, valores que fueron determinados mediante balances de masa. Con las muestras elaboradas se procedió a realizar una ficha de evaluación sensorial utilizando una prueba de preferencia en la que el sabor de vainilla tuvo un 63,03% de aceptabilidad, seguido del de maracuyá con un 20,72% y por último el de chocolate con un 16,22%. Una vez se culminó el diseño se realizó su validación a través de la ‘NTE INEN 2570 (2011): Bocaditos de granos, cereales y semillas. Requisitos.’, registrando valores dentro de los límites recomendados por dicha norma, por lo tanto el producto es apto para el consumo humano. Palabras Clave: Humedad, Extrusión, Balance de masa, Seguridad alimentaria Statgraphycs (software).

This study describes the exploitation of wood waste (Pinus spp.) in the form of sawdust and shavings generated during the production of furniture and artisanal items in a community in the state of Michoacán, western Mexico. A process is described to densifying this raw material, to produce solid-type biofuel briquettes that can be used to satisfy the need to generate low-power heat for residential sectors. Briquette production involved six stages: (a) gathering samples of sawdust and shavings from artisanal workshops in the community; (b) proximal characterization of the samples; (c) elaborating the briquettes; (d) physicochemical characterization of the briquettes; (e) evaluation of the physical-thermal combustion of the briquettes; and (f) an economic evaluation of briquette production to determine viability. Finally, we performed a comparative analysis of the energy, economic, and environmental indicators of the briquettes produced and conventional pine and oak firewood (Pinus spp., Quercus spp.) in the study community. The results show the viability of using biomass residues to make briquettes, which are efficient, economic and easy to make and use.
