Actually optimization concepts in agricultural process are try to involve with major presence over this economical sector worldwide. This, due to use in an efficient way the resources since the cultivation to post-harvest. The last one, provide large amounts of food which are lost due to accelerated maturity and overproduction. In order to minimize the lost and supply the growing demand of natural and health products, process with a low nutritional impact are implemented to preserve the food on the time, solar dehydration is a trend which involve natural resources as primary source in the process related. In this work is presented the results obtained in FragariaVesca dehydration, known as strawberry by a flat solar collector working under natural circulation in Bogota.
