Shelf Life Studies

Shelf life is the time, under specified storage conditions, during which a food product maintains acceptable quality as defined by specific criteria for critical product attributes.  Being able to determine shelf life accurately is key information for manufacturers and product developers.  Assigning a shelf life that is artificially long risks exposing consumers to undesirable product, with potentially catastrophic damage to brand and product image at minimum. 

This short course will give students a basic understanding of shelf life and how a shelf life study is designed.
