Real-Time & Accelerated Studies

Shelf Life Testing

Consumers expect food to remain safe, fresh and enjoyable until the expiry date. Shelf-life testing evaluates how your product's safety, quality and sensory appeal change over time, helping you set accurate dates, meet regulations and protect your brand.

The importance of shelf-life testing

Real-Time Shelf Life Studies

We store your product under normal conditions, periodically testing until deterioration is observed — the most reliable data, though it can span weeks or months.

Accelerated Shelf Life Testing

Samples are subjected to elevated temperature, humidity and light to simulate ageing — ideal for rapid market launches, with predictive insights within weeks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is shelf-life testing and why do I need it?+

It determines how long your product remains safe, high-quality and appealing — helping you set accurate expiry dates, comply with FSSAI regulations and avoid recalls.

How long does shelf-life testing take?+

Real-time studies last as long as the intended shelf life (weeks to over a year). Accelerated studies compress ageing into a few weeks.

Do I need both real-time and accelerated testing?+

Accelerated testing suits product development and rapid launches; real-time testing is recommended before finalising expiry dates and for sensitive products. Many brands use both.

Which products require shelf-life testing?+

Any packaged or processed food — ready-to-eat meals, dairy, bakery items, spices, frozen products, nutraceuticals — benefits from shelf-life studies.
