    The use of medicinal plants in Ecuador has shown constant growth, this growth is due to the therapeutic value that plants have according to their composition and active ingredients. These principles are involved in highly relevant biological processes and can be used in various industrial processes to obtain functional products. The aim of the research was to study the antioxidant and bromatological properties of the leaves and stems of Oxalis lotoides (Kunth) and their use in the formulation of an infusion. The plant material was dried at 70° C, ground to obtain a fine powder and the active ingredients were extracted using the Soxhlet method. The extract obtained was concentrated and stored in amber bottles. The antioxidant activity was determined by the DPPH method, and the bromatological characteristics were also determined by physical-chemical methods. The results for the ethanolic extract being the OLH treatment (Oxalis Lotoides Leaves) was 24.515 % while for the ethanolic extract of stems being the OLT treatment (Oxalis Lotoides Stems) was 50.193 %. The bromatological analysis showed the following values: humidity OLH = 8.190 % and OLT = 6.181 %; crude protein OLH = 18.2 % and OLT = 4.71 %; total fats OLH = 8.48 % and OLT = 4.44 % ashes OLH = 5.143 % and OLT = 5.766 %; titratable acidity citric acid OLH = 1.658 % and OLT = 0.662 %; pH OLH = 1.74 and OLT = 2.72 and soluble solids OLH = 4.157 % and OLT = 2.90 %. With the ethanolic extracts of leaves and stems, the microencapsulation process was carried out by spray drying with an inlet and outlet temperature of 150 ° C and 80 ° C respectively, with these microencapsulates the aromatic infusions were made which were evaluated by a panel of students using a hedonic scale, it was obtained that the infusion with the best characteristics of flavor, smell, color, appearance and acceptability was the OLH treatment.
