“…Currently there are few studies on this typical Colombian food, Acevedo et al, [7] conducted a study to determine the bromatological and sensory properties of corn empanadas stuffed with meat produced on the Colombian Caribbean coast, subjecting it to various time and vacuum frying temperature factors, concluding that the best sensory conditions were obtained at a temperature of 120 °C and bromatological conditions at a temperature of 140 °C. These researchers also evaluated the effect of vacuum frying on the oil absorption of corn empanadas, finding that a longer time (120 s) and lower frying temperature (115 °C) increase oil absorption, impacting food quality [8]. Research has also been carried out on another type product of the Colombian Caribbean coast food, assessing the influence of storage time on the texture and viscoelasticity of white "Cariaco" corn buns, concluding that the storage time influences the texture profile and increased hardness, given the conditions of moisture loss during product refrigeration [9], other studies have been carried out with similar products such as "humitas", a typical product from Peru and Chile, they assessed the effect of different packages, the modified atmosphere and the storage temperature on humitas taking into account factors such as aw, moisture, texture and microorganism count, concluding that the combination of metalized films, vacuum and freezing maintains most of the evaluated characteristics of this food [10].…”
