7 Keeping product under Temperature Control is a KEY requirement for Perishable Food Products

8 Breaks in the cold chain do exist

9 and unmanaged they have an impact 20 Storage Temperature ( C) Sourced from: Kader, A A, (2002). Postharvest Technology of Horticultural Crops, 3rd edn., University of California. P Shelf life of broccoli (days)

10 Used properly coolants can assist in maintaining Temperature Control Thereby Maximising Shelf Life!!!

11 To make an estimate you must know: Product desired handling temperature. Packaging, dimensions and wall thickness. Coolant type (and specifications if non standard). Product temperature at time of packing with coolant. Supply chain stages the product will go through. Time product will spend in each stage. Temperature product will be exposed to.

12 Supply chain from Adelaide to a remote APY store via Alice Springs Product = Broccoli Carton dimensions = 58.5 x 29 x 30 cm (l x w x h) Packaging = EPS (no liner) Wall thickness = 2.5 cm Weight product = 5 kg Initial product temperature = 15 C Target handling temperature: Chilled Coolant: Wet Ice

15 SAFC Coolant Estimator Critical to check the estimate: Qualification tests Refine the amount with static testing. Conduct trial shipments. On-going performance assessments Temperature monitoring. Supply chain feedback. : NOTE: If you want some coolant left in the box at the end of the trip you should add additional coolant

16 SAFC Coolant Estimator

17 The Coolant Calculator can be used for a variety of perishable products: Fruit Vegetables Meat Poultry Seafood Dairy Juices Products based upon their moisture content

18 The Coolant Calculator incorporates calculations for the main types of Coolant: Wet Ice Standard Gel Packs Specialised Gel Packs

19 Access to the SAFC Coolant Calculator is by subscription for either a number of uses; or a set period of time. SAFC Members gain discounted access to the Coolant Calculator so consider becoming a member of SAFC. SAFC Coolant Calculator Online at
