Leatherhead is currently studying the shelf life of natural food coloring. In general, the current trend is away from artificial and towards natural substances. As a result, the industry is facing major challenges as the shelf life of natural substances must be tested under realistic conditions. However, food manufacturers are under constant pressure to launch new products in ever shorter time scales. Often here is not sufficient time for real time shelf-life testing. Accelerated shelf-life testing (ASLT) is an indirect method for measuring and estimating the stability of a product. To accelerate complex durability testing, Leatherhead has been using 240 liter and 720 liter KBF P constant climate chambers from Binder for years.The chambers are currently used to specify test methods for ASLT and for standardized testing of natural food coloring for photostability.
