Cold chain

Japanese: コールド・チェーン(英語表記)cold chain
Cold chain
This refers to a system (low-temperature distribution system) that distributes fresh foods, frozen foods, medicines, and other products whose quality is easily affected by external temperatures at low temperatures from production to consumption. As early as 2500 BC, Egypt began to preserve goods by utilizing the evaporation of water, but the history of the cold chain, which combines low-temperature storage and transportation functions, is relatively new, dating back to the completion of refrigeration machines at the end of the 19th century. Beef from Australia was shipped to Europe by refrigerated transport ships, and in the United States, fruits and vegetables from the West Coast were shipped at low temperatures to the East Coast.

Japanese:
外温のもとでは品質の変化しやすい生鮮食品,冷凍食品,医薬品などを,生産から消費まで一貫して低温の状態で流通させる仕組み(低温流通機構)をいう。すでに前2500年ころ,エジプトでは水の蒸発作用を利用して物資を保存しはじめているが,低温での貯蔵・輸送機能を組み合わせたコールド・チェーンの歴史は比較的新しく,19世紀末の冷凍機完成以降のこととなる。オーストラリアの牛肉が低温運搬船によってヨーロッパへ輸送され,アメリカにおいては,西海岸の青果物が東海岸へ低温輸送されてきた。
