    Desarrollo de un garum con base en trucha (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) y especias locales del Ecosistema Andino del Cajas, Azuay-Ecuador
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-09-09) Quiros Armijos, Javier Alejandro; Vargas Vázquez, Daniel Fernando; Jaramillo Granda, Marlene del Cisne
    The present work focuses on the development of organic edible dyes from plants grown in the province of Azuay such as bougainvillea, violets, mortiño and amaranth, with application in signature desserts. The study proposes a proprietary extraction process, based on the dehydration, pulverization and reactivation of the pigments in an aqueous medium at 50 °C, followed by a conciness by bain-marie at 45 °C. Through sensory evaluations, properties such as chromatic intensity, thermal stability and color uniformity in food preparations were analyzed, confirming their effectiveness in the area of confectionery. This research not only promotes innovation in local gastronomy, but also contributes to the strengthening of sustainable culinary practices, the revaluation of the plant biodiversity of Azuay and the creation of natural alternatives to the use of synthetic dyes.
