Shelf life testing process overview client sends 6 individual containers of finished product to the laboratory. Accelerated testing must be done in conjunction with standard shelf life testing for 100 accuracy. Accelerated shelf life test real time assessment is usually time and resource consuming. For example storage at a higher temperature can result in a prediction in say half the time of the real shelf life although some methods claim to deliver the information in substantially less time.

The food industry has a great need to obtain in a relatively short time the necessary information. The food industry has a great need to have a shelf life test in the minimum time possible because of the fierce competition sudden shortage of agricultural inputs opportunity loss and low unit value of the commodity.
