    Propuesta de helados saludables a través de hierbas medicinales y frutas de la zona austral
    (Instituto Superior Tecnológico Particular Sudamericano, 2025) Loja Duchi Stalin Bernardo
    The proposal seeks to innovate in the gastronomic offer of the Café Libre restaurant by creating healthy ice creams that combine medicinal herbs with fruits from the southern area. In a context where healthy eating becomes more relevant, it is necessary to develop products that not only offer exceptional flavor, but also provide nutritional benefits, taking advantage of local biodiversity and rescuing traditional knowledge.The development of these ice creams was based on a methodology that included the analysis of literature on the properties of medicinal herbs, the collection of information through observation and culinary experimentation to formulate innovative recipes. In addition, sensory tests were carried out at Café Libre to evaluate the acceptance of the product among its customers. The results confirm the viability of this proposal, highlighted by chef Rocío Valencia, who highlights its potential to strengthen the restaurant's gastronomic identity and promote the sustainable use of local ingredients. In short, the incorporation of medicinal herbs in ice cream not only responds to a growing trend of conscious eating, but also opens new opportunities to differentiate Café Libre's offer and revalue the biodiversity of the southern zone.
