Redaktion: Nicoli, Maria Cristina

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Determining accurate shelf life data for foods is essential for assuring food quality and protecting consumers from the effects of degradation. This volume presents the essential criteria and current methodologies for obtaining accurate and reliable shelf life dating. Defining the process through a series of sequential steps, the book assists and supports researchers and food industry operators in planning a shelf life study that best suits their needs. The book includes a series of case studies that begin by defining acceptability limits and identifying the indicators of quality loss. Next, the book examines expiration time assessment by instrumental or sensory tools.
