INDUSTRIALIZACIÓN PRIMARIA DEL AGUAJE (Mauritia flexuosa L. f.) EN IQUITOS (PERÚ)

Abstract: . RESUMENEn Iquitos (3º 45' 05'' S y 73º 14' 40'' O; 231 648 hab.), capital del mayor departamento amazónico del Perú, se estudió la industrialización primaria de los frutos del aguaje (Mauritia flexuosa L. f). Esta es realizada por ocho chupeterías, una heladería y tres heladeros. Las chupeterías más antiguas funcionan desde 1970 y la heladería desde 1940. Además del aguaje, elaboran también chupetes de nueve frutas regionales.El abastecimiento se realiza mediante proveedores fijos, libres y por compra direct… Show more

“…The main market is in Iquitos, however, where fruits are sold in various degrees of processing: crude, cooked, as aguaje soft drink called aguajina, or in fermented form, ice creams, popsicles (chupetes), or frozen in plastic bags (Kahn, 1991;Mejía, 1992;Del Castillo et al, 2006;Navarro, 2006;Delgado et al, 2007). Aguaje flavoured ice cream is a major product, mainly sold in the Iquitos region, but also in Pucallpa and Lima (Rojas-R. et al, 2001). Harvesting of aguaje fruits represented the third most important economic activity for households in Roca Fuerte, Peru, in 2002, accounting for 31% of the cash income and involving 75% of the households (Manzi & Coomes, 2009).…”

“…This price difference is partially reflected in retail prices for the masa de aguaje (pulp), which is used for ice cream. The price/bag (600-700 g) varies between 0.5 and 1.2 US$/kg (Rojas-R. et al, 2001;Anonymous, 2005) over one season, depending on the supply and demand. These prices are similar to those reported from Colombia (ca.…”

“…Mauritia flexuosa is an important socioeconomic resource for local indigenous communities across Amazonia because of its multiple uses and edible fruits Martins, Filgueiras, & de Albuquerque, 2012;Virapongse, 2017). However, unsustainable overharvesting via uncontrolled felling of female individuals for fruit harvesting has strong negative impacts on its conservation (Rojas-Ruiz et al, 2001). Additionally, palynological and genetic studies have highlighted the role of climatic shift during the Quaternary and river dynamics on the genetic structure of Mauritia flexuosa at the continental level (Lima, Lima-Ribeiro, Tinoco, Terribile, & Collevatti, 2014;Melo, Freitas, Bacon, & Collevatti, 2018;Rull, 1998;Sander et al, 2018).…”
