A product has a shelf-life of 8 days, when stored at room temperature (25 °C). What is the
approximate shelf-life of this product, when stored in a refrigerator (5 °C). Assume that E =
50 kJ/mol?

Respuesta :

The  approximate shelf-life of this product, when stored in a refrigerator (5 °C) is 21.3 hours.

What is shelf-life product?

Shelf life is defined as the length of time a product may be stored without becoming unsuitable for use or consumption.

Using a Q value of 3, the approximate shelf-life of this product is calculated as follows;

[tex]t_{90} (T_2) = \frac{t_{90}(T_1)}{Q_{10}^{(\frac{\Delta T}{10})} } \\\\t_{90} (T_2) = \frac{8}{3^{(\frac{25-5}{10})}} \\\\t_{90} (T_2) = \frac{8}{3^2} = 0.88 \ day = 21.3 \ hours[/tex]

Thus, the  approximate shelf-life of this product, when stored in a refrigerator (5 °C) is 21.3 hours.
