    3. If samples will be stored at room temperature then there are two options (Real Time and Accelerated)
  2. How long would you like to run the study?

Refrigerator Shelf Life/ Freezer Shelf Life

Ambient, Room Temperature, Shelf Life

Room temperature studies have the ability to assess changes in appearance, odor, microbiological growth as well as rancidity.
