This study proposes an innovative approach to reduce temperature fluctuations in refrigerated transport during loading and unloading, aiming to minimize food waste and optimize energy consumption in the food supply chain. The solution involves integrating Peltier cells into secondary and tertiary packaging to improve system efficiency and minimize...

... the elaboration of the research work, it is necessary to have a secondary packaging used for the transport of food and, considering the sustainability, the IFCO RPC packaging can be used, for example, the Green Lite CH6416 ( Figure 5) with the characteristics described in Table 1. ...Context 2

Thus, the tertiary packaging is the component where the secondary packaging will be placed and, again, considering sustainability, pallets from the company INKA can be used, more specifically, compacted plastic pallets that are built using recycled plastic: an example can be IKP1878 PEE ( Figure 6), with the characteristics shown in Table 2 [54]. ...Context 3

For a better understanding of the analysis of the results, acronyms were assigned to each measurement as presented in Table 11. Figure 23 shows the working state for each one of these tests for the first 20 min since this process repeats during the entire test period (60 min). ...Context 8
