dc.description | Cocoa is one of the most important items in the productive agricultural structure of Ecuador and a source of income for thousands of peasant families. The mucilage can be extracted from the almond to produce environmentally friendly products and in turn of nutritional benefit for human beings. The research aimed to describe the benefits of the extraction and processing of cocoa mucilage in the agricultural field. For this purpose, documentary research selected from primary sources was used; once collected, it was paraphrased and analyzed to have technical control parameters. The results showed that over time, countless ways to extract this juice from cocoa kernels have been tested, both in the field and in the laboratory. Currently, these processes have already been investigated and there are technical protocols that make the product obtained very stable, and that allow the product to be used in various ways and fields over time. In the first instance, the use points to a high quality biofertilizer, since it has a high load of beneficial bacteria for the soil, as well as some essential micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and copper. In a second point, cocoa mucilage has been used by various researchers as a herbicide, with the results being very variable at the moment. In a third line, the use is aimed at being used as an antifungal, however, these works are still in the initial processes.

dc.description.abstract | El cacao es uno de los rubros de mayor relevancia en la estructura agrícola productiva de Ecuador y fuente de ingreso para miles de familias campesinas. El mucilago puede ser extraído de la almendra para la elaboración de productos amigables con el medio ambiente y a su vez de beneficio nutricional para los seres humanos. La investigación planteo describir los beneficios de la extracción y procesamiento del mucilago de cacao en el campo agrícola. Para el efecto se utilizó investigación documental seleccionada de fuentes primarias, una vez colectada se parafraseo y analizo con el fin de tener parámetros técnicos de control. Los resultados mostraron que a través del tiempo se han probado, tanto en campo como laboratorio, un sinnúmero de formas de extraer este jugo de las almendras del cacao. En la actualidad estos procesos ya han sido investigados y se cuenta con protocolos técnicos, que hacen muy estable el producto obtenido, y que permiten en su tiempo utilizar el producto de diversas formas y campos. En una primera instancia el uso apunta a un biofertilizantes de calidad alta, ya que cuenta con una alta carga de bacterias benéficas para el suelo, así como, con algunos micronutrientes esenciales como hierro, zinc y cobre. En un segundo punto el mucilago de cacao ha sido utilizado por diversos investigadores como herbicida, siendo al momento los resultados muy variables. En una tercera línea el uso está dirigido a ser empelado como antifúngico, sin embargo, estos trabajos aún están en procesos iniciales. | es_ES |
