Introduction The fresh fruit and vegetable is important and remarkable point in supply chain. The fresh fruit and vegetable supply chain is characterized by many national and international small and medium-sized enterprises at the production stage. And also the consumer demand for fresh fruits and vegetables all over the year is a special challenge of this chain and this chain strongly impacts all of the particularities. Therefore, the adoption of new Technologies and new opportunities for improving information logistic can have important benefits to meet the fresh fruit and vegetable’s conditions. One important benefit is the collection information and determine an impact on the strategies process efficiency of enterprises. And also we can see demand for fresh fruits and vegetables on graph. The other factor is the transport of fresh fruit and vegetables is a complicated topic. Diffrent type of fruit and vegetables have widely differently requirements for their safe transportation conditions. Movement of produce from source to market provides a straightforward survey of large variations in transport distance, given that many fruits and vegetables are both produced domestically and imported. Srotage and distribution of fresh fruit and vegetables is very important and critic point that should focus for making satisfied demand requirements and be successful on food marketing chain and especially for quality. We should be flexiblity for new technological innovations and can implementation for get advantages. There is so much factors that affect fresh fruit and vegetables.

Despite variable heat leakages which may occur in various parts of the system, and the unavoidable increase in the circulating air temperature at return compared with delivery.The circulating cooling air should therefore only be required to remove respiratory heat of the produce and the heat exchanged via exterior surfaces. A high velocity of circulating air should be unnecessary and in fact undesirable. Cooling air in modern refrigerated vessels and containers is usually circulated vertically, from the deck/floor, upwards. The system is designed to produce be equal air pressures ove the full area of the cargo space. • Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) This is a water-soluble yellowish green gas with an odour similar to that of chlorine. It is highly effective at neutral pH. Its reactivity is, however, reduced by the presence of organic matter.

In warmer climates such as Egypt they used techniques as evaporative cooling, “if water is placed in shallow trays during the cool tropical nights, its rapid evaporation can cause ice to form in the trays, even if the air does not fall below freezing temperatures”. Although refrigeration developed in the 18th century it wasn’t until the mid-19th century when the first refrigerator built using vapor technology was build by American John Gorrie in 1844. A few years later commercial refrigeration was introduced as well as vapor compression technology which was the beginning of our modern refrigeration. Later that century ammonia was popularized as the evaporation chemical in refrigeration. All the trials and tribulations of refrigeration where all stepping stones to the 20th century and the introduction of modern refrigeration as we know it
Next, the refrigerant moves on to the next side of the refrigeration cycle, which is the high pressure side. The refrigerant leaves the compressor as a high temperature, high pressure gas and then moves to the condenser. At the condenser, the hot gas is condensed back to a liquid and it’s heat is given to the outside air. The refrigerant then moves from the condenser to the expansion valve where the amount of flow is restricted and lowers the pressure as the refrigerant leaves the expansion valve.
...enters in the pervaporation membrane unit in which a membrane is employed for separation. Only the refrigerant is passed through the membrane and collected on the other side. Vacuum is created at the downstream of the membrane. The refrigerant is condensed and throttled to the evaporator to produce cooling and then is absorbed in the absorber and the cycle repeats. The schematic diagram of this cycle is shown in Figure 8. The COP of the cycle utilizing pervaporation membrane process for vapour desorption is low as compared to conventional absorption systems as pervaporation process requires very high solution feed flow rate. The authors obtained a COP of 0.06 for their prototype working on the pervaporation membrane principle, they argued that the low COP is due to the high circulation ratio as high feed flow rate is required to operate such pilot membrane module.
Food industry can be chartered by low margin industry, while along with the shift of power from the manufacturer to the purchaser, the price and demand became flexible, and the product variety increased.
Coolcargo and Frito-Lay implemented technical solutions for agricultural-products transportation following customers’ requirements. Coolcargo developed a transport-system for maintain fresh asparagus at controlled temperature from production site in Thailand to final destination in UK (UOL, 2013). Frito-Lay developed a global agile supply-chain for manufacturing and distributing salty-snacks to end-customers that allows processing agricultural-products in less than 24 hours for flavor guarantee (PepsiCo, 2013).
Ice based technology also known as ice storage air conditioning is the process of using ice to store energy. This method is used in order to decrease the energy usage cost by transferring the energy consumption from high ...
Process bc : This high pressure and high temperature vapour then enters a condenser where the temperature of the vapour first drops to saturation temperature and subsequently the vapour refrigerant condenses to liquid state .
Refrigeration Refrigeration is defined as “The process of removing heat from an enclosed space, or from a substance, to lower its pressure.” (First website given in bibliography) In simpler terms, it is removing heat from states of matter in order to keep them cooler. The basic need for refrigeration is to cool food and beverages, as they often get spoilt if the temperature is high. Before actual refrigerators and other such mechanical systems were introduced, it was very common for people to cool their food with ice and snow.
In the competitive environment, it is necessary for moving products involves reception of products at an intermediate location, store, repackage, clear customs and transport to final destination. The other factor in the supply chain logistics is speed given information flows fast in the internet era. The customer expects everything quick accustomed to the instant status access to the information. With the real time inventory, customer expects the location of the product, it is next scheduled movement and the final delivery schedule.
First, they get their own system to track down their inventory. If they recognize the deficiency in its inventory on their system, they can easily find out how to manage inventory to catch customer’s demands. It lessens the risk of occurrences of their out-of-stock events. Their system also includes supermarket’s supply chain. It does not focus on just inventory, but it can show managers that their all operations are working well by Wegmans’s strategy. Managers always check out its own supply chain and producing department. For example, they can log all their food’s record by mobile computing tablets. Manufacturers and date of manufacture are registered by all records associated with grocery. It can not only reduce staff requirements and expenses, but also gain
“Effective procurement affects inventory control by obtaining the right items in the correct quantity for the best value” ("Inventory Management and Tracking Reference Guide," 2012, p. 28). It is important for foodservice industry to have proper equipment and suppliers, to support the receiving protocols, enable efficient transportation and store the diverse food items safely and conveniently (Doty, 2004). Stores management and procedure operations are important aspect of procurement cycle which will help the business to run smoothly, more efficient and effective. This paper will look at what is good storage procedure and it’s objectives. Furthermore, explaining the procurement cycle and its interactions with stores and storage department.
