The shelf life of canned fruits and vegetables
ranges from 1 to probably 3 years, depending on
the product and on the quality aspect being measured.
The Q10's of the deteriorative reactions are
all quite low, from 1.5 to 2.5, indicating that the
end of shelf life can be predicted over a fairly
broad temperature range. Moisture gain or loss
should not occur through the can wall, and oxidative
reactions should be minimal,
