Storage Study of Individual Servings of Subsistence at Various Temperatures

Abstract

While some packaging materials appear to offer more protection to individual servings of subsistence, the results of this study indicate that the dominant factor in long-term acceptance of any product is a low storage temperature. Irrespective of the product and the method of packaging, product stored at 4.4 C (40 F) is superior to product stored at 21.1 C (70F) which, in turn, is superior to product stored at 32.2 C (90F).
