The Tips to Transport Fresh Lime

The limes’ supply chain is complex with many handoff points. Freshliance FreshTag10T single-use USB temperature sensor is help retailers, restaurants, growers, suppliers, shippers and exporters mitigate food waste while helping ensure only the freshest and safest products reach consumers.

Lime is a type of citrus fruit that is used as raw material for making juice, lemonades, and even in cooking and also used in the production of citrus acid, lime oil, and many other products. Therefore, the growing demand for the products will eventually increase the demand for lime and as a result, the growing interest in health benefits and cleaning applications will be a major force driving the market. Moreover, limes contain vitamin C and flavonoids, the antioxidants that strengthen collagen. Drinking lime water can hydrate and rejuvenate skin. Vitamin C and flavonoids are also found in some topical skin care products. The global lime market is estimated to grow at a steady growth rate in the next few years owing to increased demand for lime.

Lime is generally recommended stored at temperatures of approx. +9°/10°C. At this temperature, lime fruit stores satisfactorily for approx. 6 to 8 weeks. However, some loss of green colour becomes apparent after approx. 4 weeks of storage. After 8 weeks of storage, the rind colour is often yellow-green. The green colour is retained better at approx. +4°C, but limes are subject to chilling injury at temperatures of approx. +7°C and below. Chilling injury is characterized by peel pitting and brown discoloration. Pits disorders may coalesce and form leathery, brown, sunken areas on the rind. Severity increases with temperatures below 8°-10°C and longer durations of exposure to these temperatures.

Freshliance FreshTag10T single-use USB temperature sensor is ideal for limes’ travel. This logger is robust enough to withstand the rigors of the journey while being compact and lightweight to sit conveniently with shipments. This disposable temperature recorders for shipping This gauge monitors heat-sensitive products throughout the logistics process (transport and storage). With reliable accuracy of ±0.5℃, the temperature gauges are a very useful tool to control and check that our products have not gone above a certain temperature. All parameters, such as logging interval, alarm points can be configured on our free configuration software. Once the temperature is out of the alarm range, the alarm symbol will be displayed on the screen and the red indicator will flash once every 10 seconds. On arrival at its destination, after stopping this usb temperature data logger, plug it into the computer, and the irreversible PDF&CSV report with graph and table will be generated automatically and quickly without any additional software. You can preset the password for the safety of report. The mark and alarm will also show on this report. This logger also supports temporary report reading. This report will be the necessary evidence for the product owner and the cold chain carrier if the cold chain performance objection is required.
