Physicochemical analysis of the blue agave

Abstract

En las zonas rurales de Huancavelica, Huánuco, Ayacucho, Apurímac y Cajamarca, abunda un recurso natural llamado cabuya azul. Se tiene información que en los departamentos del sur se procesa artesanalmente el jugo de cabuya para obtener miel y panela, los cuales se utilizan como edulcorante. Dada esta situación es necesario realizar un análisis fisicoquímico del jugo de la cabuya azul a fin de identificar algunas propiedades, principalmente el contenido de inulina que tiene propiedades dietéticas. Las pruebas experimentales realizadas demuestran que el jugo de este recurso natural contiene alto contenido de inulina y sólidos totales (fructosa, glucosa y otros). En base a lo anterior es factible su transformación industrial, coadyuvando de esta manera a mejorar el nivel de vida de la población rural donde abunda este recurso natural.

In rural areas of Huancavelica, Huánuco, Ayacucho, Apurimac and Cajamarca. There is an abundant natural resource called blue sisal. There is information that in the southern departments the sisal juice is processed handmade to obtain honey and brown sugar, which are used as a sweetener. Given this situation, it is needed a blue sisal juice physicochemical analysis to identify some properties, mainly the content of inulin having dietary properties. Experimental tests show that this juice found in natural resource contains high content of inulin and total solids (fructose, glucose and others). Based on the above, the industrial processing is feasible; contributing in this way to improve the standard of living of the rural population where this natural resource is abundant.
