A shelf life for solder paste is defined as the amount of time after a product's been opened and stored. The shelf life is determined by the manufacturer using internal studies. It can be found in the packaging of the product or on any paperwork. The shelf life for solder paste can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. As a rule, it is usually 3 to 6 months if stored at room temperatures. A stale or old solder paste will have a significant separation between flux and powder. It may also be viscous (leading to difficulty in dispensing) and contain large air bubbles. Use the soldering paste quickly to prevent these problems. Also, dispense only a little at a given time.
Due to the action microorganisms, enzymes, and bacteria during storage, fresh foods of animal origin are susceptible to spoilage. The evaluation of sensory and chemical parameters is crucial, but most current methods are expensive, tedious and highly technical. The e-sensing system overcomes many of these disadvantages. This paper discusses the application e-sensing systems for the shelf-life evaluation of meats, fish, dairy and eggs.
Numerous studies in the last decade have explored the eNoise applications for predicting quality traits, and/or spoilage, of fresh food with animal origin. The sensitivity, accuracy and versatility of this sensor have made it the preferred choice for this type of evaluation. The eNose is particularly useful for assessing raw materials and finished products, since it can detect volatile compounds with high precision without sample pretreatment or reagents.
Recently, the e-tongue gained popularity as a method to evaluate freshness and food quality. The eTongue has the ability to detect volatile compounds from microbial decay processes, which can be used to predict food shelf life. The eTongue is simple to use and allows for an accurate, reliable and fast assessment of meats, fishes, dairy products, and eggs. It is also able to detect the presence of specific volatile compounds with high molecular weight, such as carbon dioxide, and to identify other gases that are able to permeate through food packaging. This sensor may be used on its own or in combination with another e-sensing device to gain a comprehensive understanding of the quality and safety of food.
