Problematic:
To consume the Andean Lupine, (chocho), it must go through a "debittering" process that eliminates the alkaloid, which consumes approximately 63 liters of water and this generates high losses of solids. Currently the traditional method of debittering affects the level of digestibility of the protein and the absorption of its nutrients.
Solution
Innovative process in the debittering of Chocho, which reduces the high consumption of water and the amount of alkaloids. This will help the production of lupine flour with a higher level of digestibility and absorption of its nutrients.
