SHELF LIFE STUDY (STERILITY STUDY)
NThe following essential parameters are examined by our laboratory to ensure the safety & quality consumption of food under chemical & biological testing fields.
Almost everyone must have noticed the ‘best before,’ ‘mfg date,’ and the ‘expiry date’ on their products. However, do you know how brands or manufacturers actually come up with these dates?
Well, this is where shelf life testing helps the operators to find out and mention the shelf life of the product on labelling for customer information. Let’s understand what this testing is about.
What Is Shelf Life Study?
Under shelf life analysis, a number of tests get 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 get affected by this change.
