1. How to package perishable foods
1. Determine the type of perishable foods
Primeiro, the type of perishable food to be shipped needs to be identified. Food can be divided into three categories: non-refrigerated, refrigerated and frozen, each type requiring different processing and packaging methods. Non-refrigerated foods usually require only basic protection, while refrigerated and frozen foods require more stringent temperature control and packaging treatment.
2. Use the proper packaging
2.1 Heat insulation vessel
In order to maintain the appropriate temperature of perishable food, the use of heat insulation transport box is the key. These heat insulation containers can be foam plastic boxes or boxes with heat insulation lining, which can effectively isolate the external temperature and keep the temperature inside the box stable.
2.2 Refrigerante
Choose the appropriate coolant according to the refrigeration or freezing requirements of the food product. For refrigerated foods, gel packs can be used, which can maintain lower temperatures without freezing the food. For frozen foods, then dry ice is used to keep them cold. No entanto, it should be noted that dry ice should not be in direct contact with food, and relevant hazardous materials regulations should be observed when used to ensure safe transportation.
2.3 Waterproof inner lining
To prevent leaks, especially when transporting seafood and other liquid foods, use waterproof plastic bags to wrap the food. This not only prevents liquid leakage, but also further protects the food from external contamination.
2.4 Filling material
Use bubble film, foam plastic or other buffer materials in the packaging box to fill the gaps to ensure that the food is not damaged by movement during transportation. These buffer materials effectively absorb the vibration, providing additional protection and ensuring that the food remains intact when arriving at its destination.
2. Specific packaging techniques for perishable foods
1. Refrigerated food
For refrigerated foods, use insulated containers such as caixas de espuma and add gel packs to keep them low. Put the food into a waterproof plastic bag and then into a container to prevent leakage and contamination. Finalmente, the void is filled with a bubble film or plastic foam to prevent food movement during transport.
2. Alimentos congelados
Frozen foods use dry ice to maintain extremely low temperatures. Place food in a waterproof bag to ensure that dry ice does not in direct contact with food and comply with hazardous material
regulations. Use a heat insulated container and fill with buffering material to ensure that the food is not damaged in transport.
3. Non-refrigerated food products
For non-refrigerated foods, use a strong packaging box with a waterproof lining inside. According to the characteristics of food, foam film or foam plastic is added to provide additional protection against damage due to transport vibration. Ensure well sealed to prevent external contamination.
3. Precautions in the transportation of perishable food
1. Controle de temperatura
Maintaining the right temperature is the key to ensure the quality of perishable food. Refrigated food should be kept at 0°C to 4°C, and frozen food should be kept below-18°C. Durante o transporte, use suitable coolant such as gel packs or dry ice and ensure the insulation of the container.
2. Packaging integrity
Ensure the integrity of the packaging and avoid food exposure to the external environment. Use waterproof plastic bags and sealed containers to prevent leakage and contamination. The package shall be filled with sufficient buffer materials such as bubble film or foam to prevent
food movement and damage during transportation.
3. Compliance transportation
Comply with relevant regulations, especially when using dangerous materials such as dry ice, and comply with transportation regulations to ensure safety. Before transportation, understand and comply with the food transportation regulations of the destination country or region to avoid delay or food damage caused by regulatory problems.
4. Real-time monitoring
Durante o transporte, the temperature monitoring equipment is used to monitor the ambient temperature in real time. Once an abnormal temperature is found, take timely measures to adjust it to ensure that the food is always within the appropriate temperature range.
5. Rapid transportation
Choose quick transportation routes to minimize transportation time. Give priority to choosing reliable logistics service providers to ensure that food can be delivered quickly and safely to the destination, and maximize the freshness and quality of food.
