उत्तर
The shelf life of food products is affected due to the factors humidity, temperature and attack by microorganisms.
Explanation:
The shelf life of food is determined by environmental and biological factors. Humidity introduces moisture that triggers enzymatic breakdown, while high temperatures accelerate chemical degradation reactions. Furthermore, both conditions create an optimal environment for the attack by microorganisms like bacteria and mold, leading to rapid spoilage.
