Accelerated Shelf-life Testing

摘要

In summary, developing and using accelerated shelf-life testing is a big undertaking to do scientifically and completely. The results of accelerated conditions have to be correlated with both laboratory tests and consumer tests to the changes that occur during normal storage and handling.rnAccelerated testing is best suited for high-volume/high-visibility products. These products are often on the market for a number of years and will require changes during their production life. A well-developed accelerated test can make those changes easier and faster to implement.rnAccelerated testing also works efficiently when applied to a suite of products made using very similar ingredients and processes for quicker evaluations of routine changes: new flavors, new suppliers, new packaging films, new equipment, modified processing, etc.
