Disposable temperature recorders are vital for mango transportation
Share
as mangoes are climacteric fruits sensitive to temperature changes (optimal range 10-13°C). These small devices, affixed to pallets or cartons, track temperature variations throughout the supply chain.
Activated before shipment, they log data at regular intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes) via internal sensors. Their sealed design prevents tampering, ensuring data accuracy. Upon delivery, stakeholders use software or apps to access the temperature history, visualizing peaks or drops.
This is critical because temperatures above 15°C accelerate ripening and decay, while below 8°C causes chilling injury. The recorders help pinpoint issues like faulty refrigeration or delayed transit, enabling timely interventions. For exporters, they validate quality control; for importers, they ensure mangoes reach markets with extended shelf life. Ultimately, these tools reduce post-harvest losses and uphold mango quality in global trade.
