Shelf Life & Stability

요약

Shelf life is the period over which an ingredient retains its declared specification under defined storage conditions; it is a conditional statement, not a fixed property of the material.

측정 방법: Months from production under stated temperature, humidity and packaging conditions

Shelf life is conditional on storage

A twelve-month shelf life declared at 25 °C and 60% relative humidity means little in a 40 °C tropical warehouse. Match the declared conditions to the actual destination, or shorten the working assumption accordingly.

Remaining shelf life at delivery is the number that matters

Production date, not delivery date, starts the clock. Long ocean voyages and port congestion can consume a large share of a premix's usable life before it reaches the mill. Specify minimum remaining shelf life on arrival.

Indicative industry reference values for orientation only — always contract against the delivered lot.

자주 묻는 질문

How much remaining shelf life should be specified?

Enough to cover inland transit, storage and full consumption with margin — commonly at least two-thirds of total shelf life remaining on arrival for premixes and vitamins.
