Cold Chain Management
Strategic Cold Chain Management
Maintaining High-Value Inventories post-Harvest
Mushrooms start losing weight and color the moment they are picked. A solid cold chain is non-negotiable for commercial success.
Step-by-Step Evolution
1
Immediate Cooling
Pre-cooling to 4°C within 120 minutes of harvest.
2
Cold Packaging
Packing into moisture-resistant crates in a chilled environment.
3
Storage Management
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) inventory control in cold rooms.
4
Transport Link
Sealing the cargo in pre-cooled insulated vehicles.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Opening cold room doors frequently causing condensation.
- Mixing fresh harvest with old stock (temperature shock).
- Over-packing causing crushing at the bottom of crates.
