Advanced sous-vide aseptic packaging saves cost
We conducted a retail price analysis on common imported food items sold in Hong Kong supermarket from September to October 2018. We found that if advanced sous-vide aseptic packaging (ASAP) technology was to be adopted, the price of peaches, carrots, salmon and scallops would be greatly marked down. The price cut is largely due to the elimination of cold-chain logistics, cold-chain storage and wastage disposal.
我們在2018年9至10月期間進行了一項香港超級市場售賣進口食品的零售價格分析，發現「先進真空低溫無菌包裝」（ASAP）技術一旦被採用，水蜜桃、紅蘿蔔、三文魚和帶子的價格將會大大降低，原因是減省了凍鏈運輸、凍鏈儲存和廢物棄置等成本。
