Accelerated shelf life testing of foods.

Abstract: The food industry has a great need to obtain, in a relatively short time, the necessary information for determining the shelf life of its products. The chapter reviews the approaches available for running accelerated shelf life tests. The scientific basis behind each of these approaches is discussed as well as the problems and challenges that are involved. The chapter reviews methods that are based on the traditional linear kinetic models as well as on the recently emerging ones that are derived from non-linear ones.
