Shelf-life studies are initiated; instructions and other printed materials are prepared along with the kits.

He was also well known in food safety for foodservice establishments and for refrigerated foods shelf-life studies.

Typical projects include product development, thermal process verification, sensory evaluation, shelf-life studies, solutions to unusual analytical problems, sample preparation, packaging solutions, etc.

Assists in feasibility studies, product feasibility studies, regulatory compliance assistance, shelf-life studies, nutrition testing, and labelling assistance.

It is strongly recommended that data from shelf-life studies, including production, packaging, transit, storage parameters and any data from challenge studies, be assessed by Health Canada, Bureau of Microbial Hazards before the product is offered for sale.

Activities of food scientists include the development of new food products, design of processes to produce these foods, choice of packaging materials, shelf-life studies, sensory evaluation of products using panels or potential consumers, as well as microbiological and chemical testing.

Accelerated shelf life studies take 1/4 of the expected time period.

Shelf life studies often use taste, sight, and smell (in addition to food chemistry and toxicology tests) to determine whether a food product is safe to consume.

Examples include gradual oxidation of polymeric implant materials and shelf life studies of solid pharmaceutical drug formulations (Applications (Solid Materials)).
