The cold chain refers to a temperature-controlled supply chain designed to transport temperature-sensitive beverages, such as dairy, juices, and alcoholic drinks, while maintaining specific temperature ranges. This specialized logistics process ensures product quality and freshness throughout storage, handling, and distribution. Cold chain logistics involves refrigerated vehicles, storage facilities, and advanced monitoring systems to prevent temperature deviations.
In the beverage industry, the cold chain plays a critical role in ensuring products reach consumers in optimal condition, maintaining taste, texture, and safety. Effective cold chain management reduces spoilage, extends shelf life, and upholds brand reputation.
