The problem covered in this study is the need to reduce the consumption of products high in sugar, that is, to promote healthy eating among the population and motivate it. The determination of this problem was due to the high and growing number of people suffering from diabetes and celiac disease; diseases that deteriorate the quality of life and in some cases end up causing death. This problem was determined by interviewing people directly affected by the aforementioned diseases. With the information obtained from these interviews it was possible to define the user profile that considered people affected by these diseases and also healthy people who seek to prevent these diseases. The idea that was proposed to solve this problem was to elaborate a bar based on carob, since this plant has the properties of being sweet and suitable for diabetics. The product is also suitable for people with celiac disease, given that it does not contain gluten, seeking to be an alternative snack to be consumed between meals and thus avoid the consumption of products with sugar and gluten. As part of the evaluation of the project, was verified that the product has the acceptance of consumers, for which experiments were conducted where users had the opportunity to define the presentation of the product as an energy bar with nuts and dried fruits. The economic viability was also evaluated and a positive NPV of S/. 3,334,607. Finally, due to the positive impact on people's health, the project has a positive impact on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) N° 3, N° 8 and N° 12, obtaining a social NPV of S/. 3,167,540 or its equivalent in USD 846,031.
