Résumé

This study presents an industrial experiment conducted with a dairy partner to investigate the temperature evolution of heat-generating soft cheeses within pallets. In the production factory, four homogeneous pallets of soft cheese were instrumented with temperature probes at three levels (bottom, medium and top). The temperature was monitored over a 13 days export cold chain, from France to Northern Europe. The objective was to assess the influence of air ventilation and pallet wrapping film on product temperatures. The results clearly highlight the effect of ventilation: pallets placed in a well-ventilated area showed temperatures approximately 3°C lower than those in a less ventilated zone. The study also underlines the importance of keeping pallets well-ventilated before loading them into refrigerated transport vehicle. However, the effect of wrapping film is less clear and cannot lead to definitive conclusions. This field study concludes with practical recommendations for better conditioning of heat-generating products.
