    This research explores the development of fermented products from tubers native to the Ecuadorian Austro: mashua (Tropaeolum tuberosum), melloco (Ullucus tuberosus) and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas). Two fermentation methods were used: lactic and acetic, with the aim of transforming and revaluing these native ingredients. For lactic fermentation, salt at 2% of the weight of the product was used, and the samples were kept for 21 days at 5 °C. In acetic fermentation, vinegars were made from the juice of the tubers, to which ethanol, sugar and cider vinegar were added as a method of reinoculation, for a period of 35 days at room temperature. The products obtained – lactoferments from tubers and vinegars – were transformed into innovative products with organoleptic properties optimized for greater acceptance by the general public. As a result, kimchi and chutney preparations of tubers were developed, the latter complemented with naranjilla.
