Abstract

Currently, counterfeit goods with uncertain quality, unclear origin is the "nightmare" of millions of consumers in the country and the world. The traceability of products and goods is the optimal solution that brings a lot of benefits to businesses participating in the supply chain in general and related enterprises processing grapefruit products in particular. Today Blockchain emerges as the top choice for traceability issues. In this article, presenting the supply chain that makes up the product "grapefruit peel jam" at FOODTECH company, the experimental model applies Blockchain technology to store and manage, look up and authenticate information related to activities in the supply chain and production of this "grapefruit peel jam". Experimental results show that information about origin is more transparent than older storage and retrieval methods, we conduct the simultaneous storage of a dataset on SQL Server, in order to solve a search on the blockchain that is very time consuming and not feasible.
