The increased production of persimmon in recent decades has not been accompanied by market demand, considering the high perishability of the fruit, it is essential to study conservation techniques that seek to extend the shelf-life, ensure quality and food safety and add value to the fruit benefited. Given the above, this study aimed to analyze the bromatological and microbiological characteristics in Fuyu persimmon (Diospyros kaki cv. Fuyu) dehydrated by natural drying in a solar dryer. According to the experimental conditions and based on the results, it was verified that the natural drying process in solar dryer in fruits of Fuyu persimmon was efficient, evidenced by the physicochemical parameters and microbiological standards that are in accordance with the established legislation.
