Within product safety and health, health (salubrity) refers to
food composition and diet. Product safety refers to the
requirement that products must be “free” of hazards with an
acceptable risk. Sensory perception of food is determined by
the overall sensation of taste, odor, color, appearance and
texture, which are determined by physical features and
chemical composition. The shelf-life of a product is defined as
the time between harvesting or processing and packaging of
the product, and the point in time at which it becomes
unacceptable for consumption. Product reliability refers to the
compliance of actual product composition with product
description, and convenience relates to the ease of use or
consumption of the product for the consumer (Luning et al.,
2002).
