Practical applicationsIn this study, four different food processing alternatives by cassava were performed by the community support of rural women from the village of Lebanon Township Andes, west of the Department of Antioquia in Colombia. Process lines were established for foods made from cassava, for its standardization and incorporation of processing of tubers in diet of the indigenous population of Colombia. Subsequent to this stage, the food obtained was evaluated physicochemical, nutritional, and sensory. It is important that research projects support the rural entrepreneurial units to strengthen the food security in the region as well as to improve the quality of life through the commercialization of new products. This research may contribute with strategy for the development and utilization of cassava and cassava products that can provide incentives for farmers, crop vendors and food processors to increase their incomes, and it can also provide food security for households producing and consuming this foods.
