Abstract

To understand of the present state for temperature management of cold and frozen food transportation vehicles, we surveyed and measured the temperatures of eight transportation vehicles (including 3 small & medium and 5 large businesses) in Jeonbuk province, Korea. In the transportation vehicles of small & medium businesses, the mean temperature of cold and frozen foods was $8.35{\pm}5.72^{\circ}C$ and $-3.45{\pm}16.88^{\circ}C$; in large businesses, $3.92{\pm}1.44^{\circ}C$ and $-15.38{\pm}2.98^{\circ}C$, respectively. In the difference of temperature by the locations within transportation vehicles, the difference in each cold and frozen was $2.40{\pm}1.45^{\circ}C$ and $2.37{\pm}2.52^{\circ}C$, as a mean. But there was not statistically significant difference in locations between cold and frozen (p > 0.05). In the difference of surface temperatures on various foods before and after door opening during the loading, the temperatures of cold and frozen foods increased by $0.55^{\circ}C$ and $1.18^{\circ}C$, as means, respectively. The temperature of foods over time and placement of cold and frozen foods in transportation vehicles were not consistently maintained at optimal values in distribution. Therefore, the development of time-temperature history (TTH) system technology at the distribution level for cold and frozen foods is required.

본 연구는 전북권내 냉장 냉동식품 유통차량을 대상으로 온도관리에 대한 현황을 파악하고자 중소기업 2곳과 대기업 5곳의 운송차량 총 8대를 대상으로 온도현황을 조사하였다. 냉장 냉동식품 유통차량의 실제공간상의 온도분포 조사결과, 참여 중소기업의 냉장차량과 냉동차량 평균 온도는 각각 $8.35{\pm}5.72^{\circ}C$, $-3.45{\pm}16.88^{\circ}C$이었고, 대기업의 냉장차량과 냉동차량 평균온도는 각각 $3.92{\pm}1.44^{\circ}C$, $-15.38{\pm}2.98^{\circ}C$로 중소기업 보다는 낮은 온도로 운영되는 것으로 나타났다. 냉장식품 적재함의 공간위치별 온도 차이는 평균적으로 $2.40^{\circ}C{\pm}1.45^{\circ}C$, 냉동식품 적재함은 $2.37^{\circ}C{\pm}2.52^{\circ}C$의 차이가 나타났지만 공간위치별 냉장, 냉동온도 모두 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(p > 0.05). 냉장 냉동식품 하역에 따른 유통차량 문 개 폐 전 후의 식품 표면온도는 냉장식품의 경우 열린 직후 평균 $2.17{\pm}1.90^{\circ}C$에서 닫힌 직후 $2.72{\pm}2.36^{\circ}C$로 약 $0.55^{\circ}C$ 상승하였으며, 냉동 식품은 열린 직후 $-18.58{\pm}3.66^{\circ}C$에서 닫힌 직후 $-17.76{\pm}4.15^{\circ}C$로 약 $1.18^{\circ}C$의 온도 상승이 나타났다. 본 연구결과 냉장 냉동식품 유통차량의 공간위치별, 이동 시간별, 그리고 유통차량 문의 개 폐에 따라 다양한 온도변화가 나타날 수 있음이 확인되었다. 따라서 유통 및 이동과정 중 온도변화를 실시간으로 확인할 수 있는 온도이력(Time-Temperature History) 추적시스템 도입에 대한 현장 적용 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
