Cold chain logistics for cherry USB single-use temperature data logger


Cherries are regarded as a high value, sought after product. Sea shipments can be successful, but very strict temperature control must be exercised. The fruit is very soft, has a tender skin, ripens fairly fast and is therefore regarded as very sensitive to handling and transport. Fast cooling to -0.5ºC immediately after harvest and not allowing the pulp temperature to exceed 0ºC during handling and transport is the key to successful sea shipment. Cherries also do not have a long storage and shelf life and should therefore be handled without delay to ensure they are offered to the retail market within 21 days from picking. Sweet cherries are not sensitive to chilling temperatures and should be stored as cold as possible without freezing.

cherries are more susceptible to skin damage and taste profile changes than most fruits. For this reason, extra care must be taken to ensure that the right protocols are followed at every step of the distribution process. The cold chain is an integral feature of the harvest, packaging, and distribution process. While growers may achieve the results using slightly contrasting methods – manual or automated – the outcomes are the same. The cold chain keeps cherries at the right temperature from the moment they are picked to the moment they arrive at their final destination.
