Looking for ways to introduce the fish meat in the diet of children take for example the nuggets of fast food chains, and decide to make a few nuggets, but in this case of tambaqui.
The pacu is a freshwater fish native to the Orinoco basin, which can be grown by aquaculture, which makes the price of this fish is very cheap. This last quality is what makes the creators of this project is used for the preparation of these nuggets.
In the study they conducted found that children of Tachira are quite reluctant to eat fish meat, and should focus on three key factors for the development of your product: odor, color and flavor. Since young children tend to repel food with strong smells, such as fish.
For the preparation of these nuggets of cachama used two formulas, one based on cornstarch and another made with mashed potatoes, in a survey after the investigation determined that 75% of children who consumed both preferred products of cornstarch as the mashed potatoes pacu had smoked and that gave him a strong flavor to the nuggets.
The creators of this project hope to someday be able to market your product, to bring it to housewives to include a healthy diet fun way of life of children Tachira, replacing junk food.
