Two products are obtained: algarrobina (75-78º Brix) and algarroba flour (particle size less than 0.15 mm). In algarrobina the rate product-raw material is 34%, and in flour it is 42%. Algarrobina can be used as edulcorant for juices, yogurt, ice creams, etc., while the algarroba flour is used in bakery.
