Ethnochemistry in ancestral knowledge about food in the Cundiboyacense region: a dialogue between past and present
This article aims to highlight the role of ethno-chemistry in food processing within Andean culture, focusing on practices such as corn nixtamalization, Paipa cheese production, and beekeeping, and how these have become part of rural traditions that contribute to the preservation of ancestral knowledge, fostering identity and building more sovereign societies. Information was collected through a database review and subsequent classification of studies related to the production of indigenous foods in Colombia, specifically in the Cundiboyacense region, considering chronology, journal type, authors, and keywords. As a result, the importance of the chemical processes and technologies associated with the production of each example was analyzed, along with reflections on the impact of ancestral practices on the social and economic development of those who still preserve them.
