Specialized logistics provider focusing exclusively on last-mile delivery of frozen products, maintaining strict temperature control from pickup through final handoff. Unlike general couriers adding refrigerated capacity, frozen food couriers design…
Frozen Food Marketplace
A digital platform connecting frozen food suppliers with consumers, food service operators, or retailers, facilitating discovery, ordering, payment, and delivery coordination. Unlike basic eCommerce sites representing single brands, marketplaces aggregate…
Frozen Food Safety
See: Food Safety Temperature The practices, procedures, and temperature maintenance protocols ensuring frozen food products remain safe for consumption throughout production, storage, transport, and retail distribution. Related Terms: Food Safety…
Frozen Food Safety Standards
Regulatory and industry guidelines ensuring frozen foods remain safe for consumption through proper handling, storage, and distribution. Key standards include maintaining temperatures at or below -18°C, preventing contamination, implementing HACCP…
Gauteng Frozen Delivery
Temperature-controlled last-mile logistics operations specific to South Africa’s Gauteng province, facing unique challenges from high altitude (1,750m elevation reducing refrigeration capacity 21%), urban heat island effects in Johannesburg and Pretoria,…
GWP (Global Warming Potential)
A relative measure comparing the greenhouse effect of refrigerants to carbon dioxide over a specific time period (typically 100 years). CO2 has GWP of 1 (baseline), while common refrigerants range…
HACCP (Cold Chain)
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points – a systematic approach to food safety identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards throughout the food production and distribution chain. HACCP principles applied to cold…
Heat Transfer (Thermal)
The movement of thermal energy from higher temperature regions to lower temperature regions through three mechanisms: conduction (through solid materials), convection (through fluid movement), and radiation (electromagnetic energy transfer). In…
High-Altitude Refrigeration
Temperature-controlled logistics operations at elevated locations where reduced atmospheric pressure and air density significantly impact refrigeration system performance. At Johannesburg’s 1,750m elevation, refrigeration systems experience approximately 21% capacity reduction and…
