    The LanguaLTM tool is a thesaurus developed to classify and describe different types of food products. It is used worldwide and enables the exchange of food composition data between different regions of the world. This thesis work is oriented towards the application of the LanguaLTM categorization system in order to standardize foods of Andean origin that are presented in the 2018 edition Food Composition Table of Cuenca, Ecuador. In addition, a standard protocol was developed for the categorization of foods of local origin, facilitating the coding of 129 foods. The results obtained evidenced limitations in some foods of traditional Ecuadorian cuisine and regional food patterns were found. Systematization facilitates the communication of data between platforms in an international manner, promoting food sovereignty and optimizing the creation of food policies. The implementation of this methodology improves the efficient and accurate interpretation of nutritional information in the country.
