Summary

Temperature monitoring can be used to evaluate fish products cold chain and estimate quality and remaining shelf-life at different stages. The objective was to use RFID temperature loggers coupled with blockchain to field test fresh packaged seabream supply chain.
Temperature loggers attached products entered the routine cold chain including all stages from harvesting to consumer handling. Recorded temperature combined with predictive microbiological models were used to estimate remaining shelf-life (RSL). Conducted microbiological analysis confirmed the validity of estimated RSL values. All data was shared with stakeholders (producer, retailer) in the context of blockchain-based data sharing tools. Mean temperature ranged within 2.2 and 5 °C while some sharp and short temperature fluctuations were observed. RSL at the time corresponding to consumption ranged between 30 and 2%.
Based on the overall results the use of blockchain in monitoring and communicating realtime data combined with predictive modelling allows an effective cold chain management.
