The effect of post - harvest transpiration on the agroindustrial quality of the fruit of Chrysobalanus Icaco rosa variety was determined. The methodology followed allowed to find the loss of water for 11 days after its collection and the specific characteristics of color, size and physical appearance, to determine shelf life and its usefulness as raw material.
