Elaboracion de sorbetes biodegradables a partir de biomasa de frutas

Abstract

The objective of this research was the elaboration of biodegradable sorbets using fruit biomass, through experimental processes to demonstrate the use of organic matter generated in a community located in the city of Guayaquil. A socialization was carried out with the residents of the selected sector, where the process of separation at the source of fruit peel waste was explained, which was carried out in the course of a week, the pre-selection was developed focused on specific properties, such as: Peel yield, fiber content, moisture percentage and biodegradability. The results of the biodegradation process of the specimens obtained showed a good level in soil, fresh and salt water. An acceptance survey was conducted as a technique to evaluate the perception of the biodegradable sorbets, which showed positive results. It is concluded that the project is fully executable because there is an abundance of the required raw material, it is a project that allows applying the criteria of circular economy and maximizing the useful life of sanitary landfills.
