This paper presents some advances about agricultural solar drying research in the University of Quintana Roo. In this case we present results of chicozapote drying (Manilkara zapota), using an indirect solar dryer installed in Chetumal. We found that with two days in March 2018, we reach a 12% of final moisture content in our samples, and in conventional laboratory drying test at 55°C, samples reach an 8% of moisture content. The main problem to solve is final quality of product, because drying provoke browning of product.
