For Upala Agr\u00edcola, compliance with the best quality parameters is a priority, for this reason quality and safety of the different processes of the company are systematically managed.<\/p>

Through procedures, audits, inspections, and internal controls that lead to processes that minimize quality problems with reviews of the fruit at a phytosanitary level and maximize the qualities that distinguish the Upala Gold pineapple.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Qualitative variables such as external color, internal condition, and state of the crown are studied and selected, as well as quantitative variables such as Brix, acidity, and firmness. These can be modified according to the specifications of each client and destination to meet their expectations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Inspections of the fruit are carried out when it is harvested, once in the plant it is reviewed in the reception area (pre-packing inspection), to determine the characteristics of the product to be packed, it is also reviewed in the post-packing area (post-packing inspection) to validate that what was packed complies with the client's specification.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Control inspections of surfaces and materials (chlorine, wax, and fungicides) are carried out, and the cleaning and disinfection of the process is verified by applying microbiological methodologies with swabs on surfaces and the exterior environment to determine possible growth of Bacteria, Fungi, and Yeast. Integrated pest management systems at an agro-industrial level are monitored, as well as the verification and calibration of metrology equipment among other prerequisite programs of the BRC system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Gesti\u00f3n de calidad Para Upala Agr\u00edcola el cumplimiento de los mejores par\u00e1metros de calidad es una prioridad, por esta raz\u00f3n se gestiona sistem\u00e1ticamente la calidad e inocuidad de los diferentes procesos de la empresa. Mediante procedimientos, auditor\u00edas, inspecciones y controles internos que conducen a procesos que minimicen los problemas de calidad con revisiones de la fruta a nivel fitosanitario y maximicen las cualidades que distinguen a la pi\u00f1a Upala Gold. M\u00e9todos y procesos de calidad Variables Analizadas Se estudian y seleccionan variables cualitativas como lo son el color externo, condici\u00f3n interna, estado de la corona, as\u00ed como las variables cuantitativas como Brix, acidez y firmeza. Las cuales pueden modificarse seg\u00fan las especificaciones de cada cliente y destino cumplir con sus expectativas. Calidad por Fases de Producci\u00f3n Se realizan inspecciones de la fruta cuando se cosecha, una vez en la planta se revisa en el \u00e1rea de recibo (inspecci\u00f3n preempaque), para determinar a las caracter\u00edsticas del producto a empacar, tambi\u00e9n se revisa en el \u00e1rea de postempaque (inspecci\u00f3n postempaque) para validar que lo que se empaco cumpla con la especificaci\u00f3n del cliente. Higiene e Inocuidad Se realizan inspecciones de control de superficies y materiales (cloro, cera y fungicidas) y se verifica la limpieza y desinfecci\u00f3n del proceso aplicando metodolog\u00edas microbiol\u00f3gicas con isopados en superficies y ambiente exterior para determinar posibles crecimientos de Bacterias, Hongos y Levaduras.Se monitorizan sistemas de manejo integrado de plagas a nivel agroindustrial, as\u00ed como la verificaci\u00f3n y calibraci\u00f3n del equipo de metrolog\u00eda entre otros programas prerrequisitos del sistema BRC. Investigaci\u00f3n en Calidad Adicionalmente se realizan investigaciones a nivel postcosecha en el laboratorio de control de calidad como parte de la mejora continua y parte de la cultura de calidad empresarial.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-378","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/upalagricola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/upalagricola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/upalagricola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upalagricola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/upalagricola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378"}],"version-history":[{"count":37,"href":"https:\/\/upalagricola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":778,"href":"https:\/\/upalagricola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/378\/revisions\/778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/upalagricola.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
