“…Here, a critical issue is the lack of consumers' knowledge about FCC. They usually do not pay attention to expiry date and purchase timing of perishable foods and are also unaware about the proper adjustment of refrigeration temperatures (Ucar and Ozcelik, 2013). This customer role in the FCC asks for integrated FCC processes from farmer to consumer to mitigate food wastage, improve health and assist the developing economies in contributing to international trade (Shashi et al, 2017).…”

“…Basediya et al (2013) and Montanari (2008) presented the review studies in the FCCM field, but both confined their work to the logistical aspects. In particular, the majority of available CC literature is based on papers which conduct surveys or develop mathematical models (Hsiao and Huang, 2016;Saif and Elhedhli, 2016;Ucar and Ozcelik, 2013;Shabani et al, 2011Shabani et al, , 2012.…”

Purpose Since last few years, cold chain management (CCM) has gained growing interest among practitioners, policymakers, researchers and academicians. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review focused on food cold chain management (FCCM) over the last 16 years to identify state of the art in the literature, highlight research gaps and define appropriate research questions (RQs) for future research. Design/methodology/approach The paper analyzes the content of 89 research articles published on the topic of food cold chain (FCC) from 2001 to 2016 within different journals. The Scopus and Web of Science databases were taken into consideration to shortlist research articles. Henceforth, the authors scrutinized the FCC industry to offer some effective strategies to tackle the chain complexities. The authors also draw interwoven between FCC infrastructure, integration, stakeholders’ interest, value addition, partners’ performance and overall food cold chain performance (FCCP) into a conceptual framework. Findings This paper identifies four research gaps in the literature of FCC concerning the most popular approaches used for the FCCP measurement, the performance measurement metrics, the factors which negatively affect the FCCP and the main sustainability issues in FCC. Originality/value This study identifies RQs which represent possible areas of investigation to improve the body of the FCCP evaluation and management. Furthermore, the FCC practitioners, food authorities and researchers might find this review useful, as it draws a clear picture of research in the respective domain.

By studying the development status of cold chain logistics in China, and the current situation in the three specific industries of electronics commerce, supermarkets, and the food and beverage industry, this paper analyzes and concludes that the terminal logistics distribution capacity of the regional distribution centers in Chinese cities is insufficient. In order to solve this problem-based on the idea of joint distribution-the paper makes a specific study of the terminal problem and establishes a joint distribution node. Different distribution schemes are adopted for individual, medium, and large customers, and we find that the semi-trailer is used to carry out the transportation of jammers by using mathematical modeling and time window constraint analysis, which can effectively integrate cold chain logistics resources, save logistics space and human resources, and improve terminal logistics distribution capacity.

“…Given the rise in empirical studies on FCC (Joshi et al , 2010, 2012; Zanoni and Zavanella, 2012; Ucar and Ozcelik, 2013; Shabani et al , 2015; Ali et al , 2018; Gligor et al , 2018), some scholars reviewed the FCC literature from different perspectives (James et al , 2006; Raab et al , 2011; Defraeye et al , 2015; Shashi et al , 2016; Mercier et al , 2017; Shashi et al , 2018; Chaudhuri et al , 2018). These works have provided insights into the field through structured review and classification into future research avenues.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a quantitatively supported explanation of the intellectual development, the schools of thought and the sub-areas of the food cold chain (FCC) research to derive meaningful avenues for future research. Design/methodology/approach This study builds on bibliometric analysis and network analysis to systematically evaluate a sample of 1,189 FCC articles published over the past 25 years. The descriptive statistics and science mapping approaches using co-citation analysis were performed with VOSviewer software. Findings The findings reveal a state-of-the-art overview of the top contributing and influential countries, authors, institutions and articles in the area of FCC research. A co-citation analysis, coupled with content analysis of most co-cited articles, uncovered four underlying research streams including: application of RFID technologies; production and operation planning models; postharvest waste, causes of postharvest wastage and perishable inventory ordering polices and models; and critical issues in FCC. Current research streams, clusters and their sub-themes provided meaningful discussions and insights into key areas for future research in FCC. Originality/value This study might reshape practitioners’, researchers’ and policy-makers’ views on the multifaceted areas and themes in the FCC research field, to harness FCC’s benefits at both strategic and tactical level. Finally, the research findings offer a roadmap for additional research to yield more practical and modeling insights that are much needed to enrich the field.
