It was developed two formulations of an agro-industrial pap-like product using cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) as raw material by defining a technological process that permits the manufacturing, at an artisanal level, of a product with good quality and acceptance with adequate stability during its storage. A market study was conducted with 300 consumers to estimate their preferences and attitudes toward buying the product, including those over 20 years old who would buy it. Both formulations of the cocoyam log fulfilled the sanitary and physicochemical specifications established for this product type. No significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) in the consumer's preference, independent of age groups for one of the formulations. In contrast, the other formulation was preferred (p ≤ 0.05) by persons between 66 and 75 years old. The leading cause of deterioration in both formulations during storage was the acidification associated with microbial growth.
