    Creación de mistelas artesanales con productos autóctonos del cantón Paute, parroquia Bulán, como alternativa sustentable
    (Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2025) Bijay Uyaguari Johmayra Elizabeth; Chiqui Fajardo Tabata Lisseth
    The main purpose of this project is the elaboration of handmade mistelas with local products from the Bulán parish, in the Paute canton, as a sustainable option that rescues ancient knowledge, promotes cultural identity and boosts the local economy. The relevance of this research lies in the recovery of native fruits, aromatic herbs with numerous others that are wasted due to the absence of value-added sales. Through a combined descriptive and transversal descriptive method, local products with potential for the production of mistelas were recognized, such as the May flower apple, the capuli, the fig, as well as plants such as lemon balm, lemon verbena and others. Ancient maceration methods, enriched with contemporary procedures, were used to produce beverages with a unique geographical identity and organoleptic characteristics. The proposal was validated through interviews, observations and laboratory tests, which facilitated the standardization of the recipes in order to evaluate their acceptance. The findings highlight the capacity of mistelas as a good that favors the economic and social growth of the community, promotes culinary tourism and enhances the sense of belonging
