Abstract

The food industry is considered as one of the economic activities with most participation in Colombia, which to continue with its process of production, have faced with problems regarding wastes due to lack of infrastructure and methods of food preservation that does not alter the physical - chemical properties of the product to market. Therefore, there has been a need to develop methodologies oriented to water extraction in fruits, without altering its nutrients and prolong the period of degradation. This paper presents the test results of the analysis of temperature and humidity that are necessary to perform the dehydration process for the Annona Muricata, which has a high water content (83 per 100 grams of fruit). The development of this project was focused on allowing fruit growers, to have the capability of offering rapid degradation tropical fruits to international and national markets. The results can be seen in food preservation for long periods of time, reducing losses, encouraging consumption and economic development of the agricultural producer.
