Ensuring food safety During transportation
For every producer one of his primary wishes is that his products reach the comsumer in a good state with minimal losses in the process. This is most important to the large scale farmers whose product are mostly fresh and might need to be transported over long distances and through so many intermediaries before reaching the consumer. In this process there is high risk of his products spoiling which might lead to very significant losses.
So how can this be prevented in the process of transportation?
Firstly it should be known that spoilage might be due to normal spontaneous degradation of organic molecules present in food substance, insect infestation or pest and rodent disturbance but it is mostly due to microorganism activity like bacteria, fungi and viruses. As these microorganisms multiply they produce toxic substances which destroy the products and make them not fit for consumption.
For the rodent insect and pest stopping the might be to just ensure the food is not open to them like keeping it in a closed container and a little above the ground during transport. But for the microorganisms extra work has to be done to make the environment unfavorable for their growth because they are present everywhere in the atmosphere.
These include things like Canning then irradiation or heating to make their numbers insignificant and also pasteurization. But not all products can be canned so aside from this, for all products transported ,a complete climate control has to be done. This involves a constant monitoring and control of temperature and also humidity. From several research it has been shown that bacteria multiply faster at temperatures between 41 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit and also low humidity is proportional to increased water loss favoring fungal growth.
Smart containers group is Swiss based technology group which provides safe complete climate control containers which are used to transport temperature sensitive good like drugs and foods across the world. They have been operational for about five years and are the fourth largest container provider for transportation of pharmaceutical drugs they have two divisions the sky cell and food guardians. Currently they seek investors in the cypto community to generate more funds to develop the company to become larger and also improve their logistics using blockchain technology. There by reducing the complexity of getting needed information of their containers. Two` forms of tokens are available which are the SMARC tokens and THE LOGI TOKENS
