Chemical Changes
What it looks like
Products begin to lose quality over time. Colors may fade or darken, flavors can change, and nutrients may break down. In some cases, off-odors develop or the product no longer tastes as intended. Over time, these changes reduce shelf life and overall product performance.
Why it happens
Chemical changes occur when reactions take place within the product during storage and distribution. Factors like humidity and temperature influence how quickly these reactions happen. Even when total moisture content stays the same, shifts in moisture balance can accelerate processes like oxidation, browning, or degradation.
