La confianza como instrumento de análisis en la cadena de valor alimentaria

El nuevo escenario al que se enfrenta el sector agroalimentario, caracterizado por una mayor complejidad y tecnificación del mismo, hace que la confianza sea un activo importante para su rendimiento y buen funcionamiento. El objetivo de la siguiente investigación es mejorar el sector agroalimentario mediante la confianza. Para ello, se pretende conocer qué elementos se usan para que la confianza aparezca en el sector agroalimentario, tomando el sector desde una perspectiva holística. Para lograr este objetivo se han seguido varias etapas. En primer lugar, se analizaron los conceptos confianza y sector agroalimentario para, posteriormente, mostrar qué aspectos de la confianza habían sido objeto de investigación en dicho sector. Tomando algunas premisas basadas en la economía neoinstitucional se definieron una serie de elementos en los que descansa la confianza. Tomando los estudios de caso como herramienta de metodología cualitativa para validar esos componentes de la confianza se concluye con una definición o marco teórico aplicable a la confianza en el sector agroalimentario. Los componentes más importantes son las personas, las instituciones y los procesos que entre ellos se producen dando lugar a las relaciones. Estas relaciones de confianza se ven condicionadas por el comportamiento y conducta de estos agentes, la satisfacción percibida, la dependencia de otros agentes y el riesgo. Además, para regular y hacer visible estos elementos, la confianza se sirve de instrumentos como los precios, los contratos y los sistemas de calidad, así como de la especificación del producto que es intercambiado Debido a su carácter cualitativo y exploratorio la investigación deja espacio para futuras investigaciones en las que se puedan medir y cuantificar la importancia de estos los elementos. Agrifood sector faces a new scenario featured by a great complexity. The aim of this work is the improvement of agricultural and food sector analyzing trust as a key asset. This work tries to answer on what items, tools or concepts rely trust in agricultural and food sector taking agrifood sector from a holistic perspective. To achieve this goal, qualitative methodology based on case studies analysis is carried out following several stages. First, a deep literature review about the food and agricultural environment and the concept of trust is analyzed. Secondly, a state of the art about how trust in food an agricultural sector has been researched is presented. Next, a scenario which takes some premises derived from neo-institutional economics is depicted. This scenario helps to define a framework for understanding how trust emerges in agrifood sector. Finally using the case studies as a tool to validate the framework the definition for trust is developed as result. Trust in food sector relays on persons, institutions and processes and the resulting relationships between them. Trust relationships are conditioned by the behavior and conduct of these agents, their perceived satisfaction, the dependence on other agents and risk. To regulate and make visible these elements, trust uses tools like prices, contracts and quality systems. The research presents some limitations due its qualitative nature. Further research lines are opened in order to evaluate and measure the relevance of different components of the framework.

Comparative characterization of dietary fibre-Enriched Frozen/thawed mashed potatoes

The potential use of commercial fibres (pea fibre, inulin, and their blends), as fibre-enriching agents in frozen/thawed mashed potatoes was reported. Pea fibre and inulin supplementations conferred hardness and softness to the product, respectively. Differences were attributed to the relationship of the fibre with the potato starch matrix. The association of pea fibre at low concentration (<15 g/kg mashed potatoes) and inulin at high concentration (>45 g/kg) is strongly encouraged to fortify the diet without promoting negative effects on textural and rheological properties of frozen/thawed mashed potatoes or colour and overall acceptability of the resulting products.

Sensory and texture properties of mashed potato incorporated wigh inulin and olive oil blends

The effect of adding different ratios of inulin and extra virgin olive oil blends, formulated without (MPA) and with cryoprotectants (MPB), on texture properties of fresh mashed potatoes and frozen/thawed mashed potatoes was studied. Inulin and extra virgin olive oil behaved like soft ?llers, but inulin was associated with increased?brousness and extra virgin olive oil with increased creaminess. In the total dataset and frozen mashed potatoes, frozen/thawed mashed potatoes, and MPA subgroups, component 1 was a contrast between mechanical and surface textural attributes, whereas in MPB samples component 1 was determined by geometrical attributes. Addition of inulin at 30 g/kg and extra virgin olive oil at 45 g/kg is recommended.

A rheological characterization of mashed potatoes enriched with soy protein isolate

The effect of the addition of soy protein isolate (SPI) (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 g kg ) on viscoelastic properties, large deformation measurements and microstructure of fresh (FM) and frozen/thawed (F/TM) mashed potatoes was investigated. Rheological data showed weak gel behaviour for both FM and F/TM potatoes without and with added SPI together with a signi?cant decrease of system viscoelasticity (G and G ) with increasing SPI volume fraction, primarily attributed to the no interaction between the amylose/amylopectine matrix and the dispersed SPI particles or aggregates as revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Micrographs also showed that SPI formed white coarse aggregates. A freeze/thaw cycle produced a more signi?cant decrease in viscoelastic functions, due to superior aggregation of denatured SPI and reduced water activity. In F/TM samples, high correlations between small and large deformation measurements were found. Results may be useful for technological applications in SPI-enriched.
