The long-distance transportation of fruits and vegetables relies on refrigerated trucks. Due to the biological characteristics of fruits and vegetables, as well as the influence of various external factors on refrigerated transport vehicles during transportation, it is easy to cause damage to fruits and vegetables. Therefore, the editor of the refrigeration unit will talk about three requirements that should be paid attention to during transportation to ensure the safe delivery of fruits and vegetables.

1、 Ensure fast delivery

Fruits and vegetables remain a vibrant metabolic organism after harvest. The more times one breathes, the more nutrients are consumed, and the faster the quality deteriorates.

The environmental conditions during refrigerated fresh food truck transportation are difficult to control, especially climate change and road bumps, which can easily have adverse effects on the quality of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, every link in transportation must be fast so that fruits and vegetables can reach their destination quickly.

2、 Light loading and unloading to prevent damage

Most fruits and vegetables have a moisture content of 80% -90% and are fresh and perishable products. If the loading and unloading time is too long, the product is prone to damage and decay. This is a common problem in refrigerated and fresh-keeping truck transportation, and also the main cause of post harvest losses of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, reasonable loading and unloading are very important, and efforts should be made to prevent damage caused by light loading and unloading.

3、 Pay attention to antifreeze and pollution prevention

Every fruit and vegetable has strict temperature requirements. Excessive temperature can accelerate product aging and reduce quality. If the temperature is too low, it can make the product vulnerable to low-temperature damage or freezing damage, and frequent or excessive temperature fluctuations during transportation are not conducive to maintaining product quality. In addition, attention should be paid to hygiene and pollution prevention.

Generally speaking, during the transportation of fruits and vegetables by refrigerated trucks, a suitable low temperature environment should be maintained at all times. In addition, to ensure the stable performance of refrigerated transport vehicles, containers are generally equipped with temperature control
