Diseño de un modelo de buenas prácticas de manufactura (BPM) para la Planta Procesadora de panela “Panelera Teniente Hugo Ortiz” Puyo-Pastaza

Abstract

The Central Panelera “Teniente Hugo Ortiz”, located in the parish of the same name in the canton and province of Pastaza, does not have a system of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to ensure the production of high-quality panela. Therefore, the purpose of this curricular integration work is to design such a system. The design of a GMPs model for the panela processing plant was presented, analyzing the requirements present in the Sanitary Technical Standard of Good Practices for Processed Foods ARCSA-DE-067-2015-GGG, the panel plant was visited during the period October 2023 - February 2024, to carry out the collection of information from the inspection records of products, facilities, operation processes, sanitary control and monitoring, according to the 208 requirements distributed in 9 chapters stipulated by the standard. An initial compliance analysis of 49.98% was obtained according to the results obtained for each chapter, and models of operating procedures for personnel, cleaning and disinfection of equipment, and areas for minimum safety conditions were prepared. In addition, an improvement plan was proposed that will allow the plant to increase the percentage of compliance at the time of implementing, planning, recording, maintaining and updating the management systems for sugarcane safety. In short, the development of the work will provide an increase in the percentage to 80.30% of expected compliance in relation to the initial compliance in accordance with the Technical Standard ARCSA-DE-042-2015-GGG. In turn, it is essential to keep personnel trained with GMP and technical standards for processed food, so as to avoid errors in the procedures of the production areas and cross-contamination of food, thus achieving better compliance percentages.
