After reviewing the storability of harvested persimmon fruits by using food-waste compost, it was hard to find an improvement of storability in room temperature, but the hardness of the fruit remained quite long when treated by foodwasted compost and stored in low temperature. So, it is decided that the use of food-waste compost doesn't influence the fruit's storability in room temperature, but it can influence persimmon fruits' physical properties and component significantly in low temperature. The result was shown that there was no differences on composition of persimmon fruits by food-waste compost and maintaining hardness at room temperature, but at low temperature, the composition of persimmon fruits was changed.
