Modelling product quality changes as a result of temperature variability in shipping systems.

Author(s) : TANNER D. J., AMOS N. D.

Summary

In recent years a number of intensive temperature surveys of both refrigerated shipping containers and vessels have been undertaken to ascertain the variability within produce loads in order to guide export industries on heuristics to minimise undesirable out-turns. This paper presents measured data from a typical container shipment, monitored on a voyage from New Zealand to Europe. Mathematical modelling was then used to illustrate a strong and significant link between changes in fruit firmness in response to temperature history.
