Abstract

In the global age, customer satisfaction, the safety of food and health products is at the topmost priority. The cold chain technology seems to be an essential aspect of preserving food products, perishables, and delivering them in the right conditions to the open market. Any changes in the supply chain regarding time, temperature, distance, environmental conditions result in the decline of the net present value of the products. This chapter deals with all the factors responsible for the quality assurance of the cold chain products. It gives a complete idea about the mechanism, processes, and monitoring functions, operational conditions for the cold chain logistics. This chapter provides insights on the temperature standards, and organizations set up the regulations for the cold chains. Future aspects related to this technology to produce, store, and handling all the produced goods have been discussed in this article. The primary focus is given to the temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products, vaccines, distribution practices, quality management aspects for the cold chain technology.
