Shelf life can be extended through several strategies:
Refrigeration: Lower temperatures can slow down chemical reactions, prolonging the shelf life of many products. Sealed Packaging: Airtight containers prevent exposure to air and moisture, preserving the integrity of the product. Light-Resistant Packaging: Using opaque materials to shield products from light can prevent degradation. Preservatives: Adding preservatives can inhibit microbial growth and chemical reactions that lead to spoilage.
