Abstract
The article presents the research results of the optimal storage period for perishable products, which require specific thermal and temperature-humidity conditions, during joint transportation. A new classification to group perishable products that are subject to joint transportation by moisture and water activity is proposed. The calculations show that perishable goods during joint transportation need the following optimal parameters: an air temperature of the cargo space of −5 to 0 °C, relative humidity of 75 – 95%, and storage life of no more than 10 days while in transit.
Highlights
Effective transportation, especially in terms of transporting perishable goods optimally through a refrigeration transport chain, is an important component of the production activity of meat processing companies.The problems relating to delivery of perishables in today’s society should be approach rationally
The efficiencies in using container shipping largely depend on similar conditions to those that affect joint transportation of foodstuffs and agricultural products, given they are subject to the same transportation requirements
As it can be seen, the storage life of perishables depends on air temperature
Summary
Especially in terms of transporting perishable goods optimally through a refrigeration transport chain, is an important component of the production activity of meat processing companies. According to the Statistics Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the volume of transported perishables is increasing at about 6% of the total turnover. Shipment of these products is mainly by road and rail-refrigeration (Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan from “On Automobile Transport”, 2003; Rules of goods’ transportation by road, 2011; Terms of railway transportation, 2011). The long-haul transportation outside the country is well planned, in countries of Central and Southern Asia In these areas, there has been widespread introduction of advanced technologies for transportation of perishables in recent years. The efficiencies in using container shipping largely depend on similar conditions to those that affect joint transportation of foodstuffs and agricultural products, given they are subject to the same transportation requirements
