Shelf Life Study

We give the best Services

Shelf life is a product of physical, microbiological and chemical processes, triggered by any one of a multitude of contributing factors. The length of time for which a food item can be stored before it goes bad or becomes unsafe to eat is an important parameter with regards to food safety. Product characteristics, including the quality and consistency of ingredients, moisture content and acidity levels, all play a part, as do external factors like storage, transport and packaging materials.

What Is Shelf-Life Study?

Under shelf-life analysis, several tests are conducted on the given products to examine how they change with time and other environmental factors. These tests include chemical, sensory, analytical, and microbiological testing.

They focus on different product aspects like its ingredients, packaging, processing, and conditions where it gets stored. Hence, the effect of each of these factors is observed on the product.

The shelf-life study report is based on the specific type and quantity of these factors. In case any of these aspects are changed in type or quantity, the shelf-life study has to be conducted again.

For example, you will have to opt for another shelf-life test if you change the packaging of your product because its life cycle will be affected by this change.
