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. To look at the effect caused by dehydration, a simple linear regression model was fitted using SPSS statistical software to observe, analyze and correlate weight loss as the days elapse over the life of the Icaco fruit. It is evident that for the first four days the most critical in the process of perspiration, being evident by the appearance of wrinkles, moist areas, loss of firmness, wilting, adhesion of the seed to the skin.
