To enhance the shelf-life of the food different preservation and processing methods used like irradiation, blanching, freezing, and some applications of heat as well as used vacuum packaging, active and intelligence packaging. Shelf -life is affected by microbial, physical, and chemical spoilage like enzymatic reactions, oxidation of fat, bacterial spoilage to reduce these type of spoilage FSMS-Food Safety Management Safety, HACCP, TQM are applied. Shelf life of food determines by sensory analysis, chemical, and microbiological tests should be carried out.
