The objective of this research work was to elaborate and evaluate the acceptability of a filter infusion of germinated purple cor n (Zea mays L.), lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora) and moringa (Moringa oleifera); The investigation had four phases, the first , a market stud y, as a second phase, a design of the process, third phase, the elaboration process and finally, the validation and optimization of the pro d uct. Fo r the market study, the population was 425,367 inhabitants and the sample was made up of 375 citi zens of the city of Chimbote, Ancash-Peru. For the design of the process, a detailed process analysis diagram (DAP) was made. For the validation of the product, an experime ntal design of mixtures was used, with 10 formulations, evaluating attributes such a s smell, color, flavor and appearance of the product, selecting an optimal formulation based on said attributes; The optimized formulation underwent a physicochemical and microbiological evaluation. C oncluding tha t 98% of those surveyed would buy the product; In addition, the manufacturing process requires 47 activities (22 operations, 20 inspections, 4 transportation, 0 waiting, 1 storage);In addition, the optimal formulation for the filter was 45% germinated purple corn, 30 % lemon verbena and 25% moringa.
