Abstract

The basic concepts of shelf life modeling are presented in this chapter. In particular, direct models are discussed using the case where the packaged-food quality can be described by means of a single quality index (e.g., fresh-cut produce) and the case where food quality depends on more than one single parameter (e.g., dairy products).
