Preface
In the year 2000 we started a four-year project on sensory shelf life (SSL)
financed by Ciencia y Tecnología para el Desarrollo (CYTED), Madrid,
Spain. The project included participants from Argentina, Chile, Colombia,
Costa Rica, Spain, and Uruguay. Thanks to this project we were able to
develop most of the methodology that is presented in this book. One of
the most valuable collaborations came from a nonfood-science group
from Cataluña in Spain directed by Dr. Guadalupe Gómez. This group
specializes in survival analysis statistics and at the time worked with
data from AIDS infection and had no connection with SSL methodology.
The exchange with this group allowed the application of survival analy-
sis methodology applied to SSL, which comprises more than three chap-
ters of this book. As a result of the CYTED project, a book was published
(Hough, G. and S. Fiszman, ed. 2005. Estimación de la Vida Util Sensorial de
los Alimentos. Madrid: programa CYTED) which was a worthy predeces-
sor of the present book.
This book starts with an introduction (Chapters 1 and 2) which includes
definitions and a review of books published on the theme of food shelf life
and the basics of sensory analysis and how they apply to shelf life studies.
Experimental design aspects are covered in Chapter 3. Survival analysis
methodology is covered extensively with the basic model (Chapter 4) and
its extensions (Chapter 5). Detailed instructions and software functions are
presented which will allow readers to perform their own SSL estimations.
Data sets used in examples and the R statistical package functions can be
downloaded from the editor’s website (http://www.crcpress.com/). The
cut-off point methodology used to estimate SSL is presented in Chapter
6. Many researchers have a special interest in accelerated shelf-life test-
ing and the methodology is covered in Chapter 7 including R function
to perform a non-linear regression to better estimate activation energy.
Potential pitfalls of accelerated studies are discussed. Finally, Chapter 8
presents extensions of survival analysis �statistics to other areas of food
quality. Optimum concentrations of ingredients and optimum cooking
temperatures are among examples presented.

Introduction

1.1â•…Sensory shelf life definition


Different sources provide different definitions of shelf life. For example
Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelf_life, accessed Septem�
ber 5, 2008) says that “shelf life is the time that products can be stored,
during which the defined quality of a specified proportion of the goods
remains acceptable under expected (or specified) conditions of distribu-
tion, storage and display. Shelf life is different from expiration date; the
former relates to food quality, the latter to food safety. A product that has
passed its shelf life might still be safe, but quality is no longer guaranteed.”
Another definition was given by Fu and Labuza (1993): “The shelf life of
a food is the time period for the product to become unacceptable from
sensory, nutritional or safety perspectives.” Ellis (1994) defined shelf life
of a food product as “the time between the production and packaging of
the product and the point at which it becomes unacceptable under defined
environmental conditions.” The IFST Guidelines (1993) defined shelf life
as the time during which the food product will (a) remain safe; (b) retain
desired sensory, chemical, physical and microbiological characteristics;
and (c) comply with any label declaration of nutritional data, when stored
under the recommended conditions. This last definition identifies the
key factors that must be considered when assessing shelf life. The previ-
ous definitions are of shelf life as a whole, that is, covering to a lesser or
larger degree microbiological, physicochemical, nutritional, and sensory
aspects. The ASTM E2454 Standard (2005) defines sensory shelf life (SSL)
as: “… the time period during which the product’s sensory characteris-
tics and performance are as intended by the manufacturer. The product is
consumable or usable during this period, providing the end-user with the
intended sensory characteristics, performance, and benefits.”
The shelf-life limits of some of the factors mentioned in the defini-
tions are defined at a laboratory level without the intervention of the con-
sumer. For example, a central issue in declaring a food to be safe is that it
must be free of pathogenic bacteria and this can be assessed by standard
microbiological analysis. Another example is vitamin D–enriched milk,
which must comply with a certain concentration measured in an analyti-
cal laboratory. In the shelf-life definitions the limit to sensory properties is

referred to as acceptable/unacceptable or desired or intended. These lim-


its can be highly ambiguous if not thoroughly researched. Manufacturers
who have to comply with food regulations and, more importantly, comply
with quality standards, need practical and reliable methods to estimate
the shelf lives of their products.

1.2â•…Labeling regulations
Regulations on labeling of shelf-life information on food products vary
from country to country. In Argentina (Código Alimentario Argentino
2005) it is compulsory, though what the label actually says is quite flexible.
Manufacturers can choose from use by, best before, or expires. Some prod-
ucts are exempted from shelf-life labeling: wine, beverages with an alco-
holic content above 10% (v/v), bread that is usually sold and consumed
within 24 hours, vinegar, sugar, sweets, and salt.
In the United States (USDA 2008), except for infant formula and some
baby food, product dating is not generally required by federal regulations.
If a calendar date is shown, immediately adjacent to the date must be a
phrase explaining the meaning of that date such as sell by or use before.
There is no uniform or universally accepted system used for food dating
in the United States. Open dating (use of a calendar date as opposed to a
code) is found primarily on perishable foods such as meat, poultry, eggs,
and dairy products. Coded dating might appear on shelf-stable products
such as cans and boxes of food. Because the expiration date is not indicative
of product quality if storage conditions have been less than optimal, the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require expiration dates on
most products. An exception to this is that expiration dates are required on
drugs. The dates required on infant formula products are use by dates, not
expiration dates. A consumer using the infant formula product before this
date is assured that the product meets nutritional and quality standards
(http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/qa-ind7c.html, accessed April 13, 2009).
In the United Kingdom (Food Standards Agency 2008) it is compulsory
for food products to have “an appropriate durability indication.” There is
also a clear distinction between use by and best before dates. Use by means
that any food or drink should not be consumed after the date shown on
the label. Even if it looks and smells fine, using it after this date could put
health at risk. Use by dates are usually placed on foods that go bad quickly,
such as milk, soft cheese, ready-prepared salads, and smoked fish. Best
before dates are usually used on foods that last longer, such as frozen,
dried, or canned foods. It should be safe to eat food after the best before
date, but the food will no longer be at its best. After this date, the food
might begin to lose its sensory quality.
No doubt other countries, or states within countries, have varying reg-
ulations on shelf-life labeling. Gone are the days when food was bought at
