Shelf-life Testing
What is the purpose of Shelf-life Testing?
The purpose of Shelf-life testing is allow consumer to know when will your food exceed the safety limit of microbes or lose their texture and quality.
How does Shelf-life testing work?
Shelf-life testing typically test for a list of parameters (“P”), over a period of time (“T”), every interval (“I”) under a certain conditions (“C”).
(“P”), (“T”), (“I”) and (“C”) variables are to be determined by the food company.
Example:
“P” = Parameters:
- Enterobacteriaceae
- Escherichia coli
- Clostridium perfringens
- Coagulase+ve Staphylococcus aureus
- Listeria monocytogenes
- Salmonella
- Water Activity
- Peroxide Value
- pH
“T” = Intended Duration of Storage: 3 months/6months/1 year/2 years
“I” = Interval of Testing: every 1 month/3 months/6 months
“C” = Conditions: frozen (below -18degC), chilled (0-4degC), ambient (15-25 degC)
Minimum sample mass: depends
Turnaround Time for Results (TAT): depends
Accelerated Shelf-life Testing
For Intended Storage Duration (“T”) above 1 year, food companies can opt for the Accelerated Shelf-life Testing, whereby the TAT will be 4x faster (for Frozen/Chilled Products) or 2.0-2.5x faster (for Ambient Products).
