Maintaining Proper Transit Temperatures of Raspberry

It’s necessary to use Freshliance Fresh Tag 1E single use usb temperature data logger to maintain the raspberry under the proper transit temperature all the time and ensure their quality and appearance from harvest to consumption. 

The raspberry is a juicy red-pink fruit with a hollow core. Raspberries are made up of clusters of smaller fruits, each with an edible seed. Raspberry are velvety to the touch and vary in size, firmness and taste. Their taste is delicious: from slightly sour to sweet. The seductive-looking raspberry is a popular ingredient in many desserts. Its fresh taste makes for a nice contrast with dark chocolate. Raspberries don't shy away from surprising combinations either, like a salad with duck breast. Raspberries are a healthy snack and taste great in a pink smoothie. Raspberries are rich in vitamin C, which contributes to a good energy balance in our body. Our bones, teeth, hair and skin also benefit from sufficient vitamin C. Berries are very perishable and maintaining fresh quality after harvest depends on proper handling, transportation, and storage.

Treated properly, fresh produce maintains its quality and appearance from harvest to consumption. While transportation takes only a few days in produce shelf life that can be as long as a month or more, handling during transit plays a critical role in allowing optimum product life. Precooling (rapid removal of field heat) is essential within 1‑2 hours of harvest. Optimum storage conditions for raspberries (2‑5 days) are 0°C and 90‑95% relative humidity. The highest freezing point is ‑1.1°C for raspberries. Overall, berries with high soluble solids content are less likely to freeze. Diseases are the greatest cause of post-harvest losses in berries. Prompt cooling, storage at the lowest safe temperature, preventing physical injury to the fruit, and shipment under high carbon dioxide (10-15%) are the best methods for disease control. 

No other temperature data logger could be better than Freshliance Fresh Tag 1E to monitor and record temperature changes of raspberries during cold chain logistics and storage.
