Modelos em programação matemática para o processamento do biscoito tipo cracker

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to construct a mathematical programming model able to optimizer the biscuit cracker's fabrication process, applying linear and nonlinear programming. Through the knowledge of the stages of cracker's production, a model was built in linear programming that minimizes the losses production and the cost involved in its production process and was developed a model in nonlinear programming to control the factors time and pH in the sponge fermentation. Through the linear programming model was determinate a detailed interpretation of the cost in the cracker's production process and the nonlinear model was reduced the time of sponge fermentation, resulting increase in the productivity.
