摘要

背景:困扰南非梨水果出口商的一个主要问题是在出口过程中浪费的水果数量。温度的升高加速了水果的衰老和品质的恶化。因此,最终延长出口梨果的保质期和降低拒收风险的第一步是确保恒温控制。目的:本研究调查了从南非西开普省到荷兰的苹果和梨出口冷链中温度协议偏差的严重程度。这项研究是2018年为国际水果出口公司X公司进行的,目的是提高其冷链的效率。方法:本研究在尽可能靠近养殖场的地方进行温度试验,在尽可能接近最终消费者的地方进行温度试验。将果肉和环境温度探头插入果实内部和周围,以监测出口温度曲线。结果:首先,试验结果表明,不符合温度协议的情况比最初预期的更频繁地发生在梨水果出口冷链上。其次,在托盘内发生温度中断的位置突出了冷链早期无意疏忽导致的热保留问题。该研究还确定了管理可以减轻衰老因素的可能改进领域。结论:研究得出的结论是,冷链的高效和有效运作取决于所有供应链合作伙伴的累积努力,而不是单一合作伙伴的努力。

Analysing temperature protocol deviations in pome fruit export cold chains: A Western Cape case
Background: A major concern plaguing South African pome fruit exporters is the volume of fruit going to waste during the export process. The senescence of fruits and the deterioration in its quality are accelerated by an increase in temperature. Thus, the first step in ultimately extending the shelf life of exported pome fruit and decreasing the risk of rejections is to ensure constant temperature control.Objectives: The study investigated the severity of temperature protocol deviations within the apple and pear export cold chains from the Western Cape, South Africa to the Netherlands. The study was undertaken in 2018 for Company X, an international fruit exporting firm, to improve the efficiency of its cold chains.Method: The research conducted temperature trials starting as close to the farm as possible and concluding as close to the end consumer as possible. Pulp and ambient temperature probes were inserted into and around the fruit to monitor export temperature profiles.Results: Firstly, the trial results show that non-compliance with temperature protocols occurred more often along the pome fruit export cold chain than initially anticipated. Secondly, the position within the pallet where the temperature breaks occurred highlighted an issue of heat retention resulting from unintentional oversights early in the cold chain. The study also identified areas of possible improvements where management could mitigate senescence factors.Conclusion: The study concluded that the efficient and effective functioning of a cold chain depends on cumulative efforts by all the supply chain partners rather than on the efforts of a single partner.
