“
Shelf life encompasses several facets of food quality attributes including safety, nutritional value and sensory properties. Shelf life affects food quality, which in turn influences the consumer's buying decisions.
Handary’s custom shelf-life solutions can help increase shelf life and decrease food waste in a more natural, scientifically proven and effective way. Explore our diverse portfolio of natural shelf-life products to discover how we can help you create products that stay fresher for longer, while meeting consumers' needs for healthier and more natural products.
