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...

Context 1
... Peltier cells, as shown in Figure 7, are used, as described in Section 1.2, to lower and/or maintain the temperature of the food being tested. In this test, two types of Peltier cells were used [58,59], the characteristics of which are shown in Table 7. ...Context 2
... Peltier cells, as shown in Figure 7, are used, as described in Section 1.2, to lower and/or maintain the temperature of the food being tested. In this test, two types of Peltier cells were used [58][59], the characteristics of which are shown in Table 7. Finally, the last material used was fruit, specifically oranges, tangerines, and grapefruits. ...Context 3
... Peltier cells must have a total value of around 300 W. Considering the characteristics of the cells presented in Section 2.1 (Table 7), 2 Peltier 12,706 cells from VLC Components S.I. and 2 Peltier 12,706 cells from botnroll are used that; using Equation (5), the power that these cells will provide is calculated. ...
