Cold Chain in Food Storage

It is crucial to control the temperature in a constant way.
The cold chain is the constant temperature control at all stages of a food product, from production to consumption, keeping it in the same temperature range and ensuring, thus, its good condition. It is called "chain" because it is made up of different stages, and if some are compromised, it could result in damage to the quality and safety of the product.


Cases of health damage due to the cold chain breaking up are increasing in developed countries, according to World Health Organization, in up to 30% per year.


Low temperatures not only ensure the organoleptic characteristics of food (texture, flavor, odor, color), but also stop reproduction of microorganisms and delay the loss of food quality. However, we must not forget that the cold does not kill microorganisms or stop the metabolic activity of its components, only slows their growth and food spoilage.
