Food deterioration refers to the process by which food loses its quality, edibility, or safety, often resulting in spoilage or the development of undesirable characteristics such as off-flavors, changes in texture, and the growth of harmful microorganisms. This process can render food unfit for consumption and is influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Food deterioration can be caused by biological, chemical, and physical factors, all of which can occur simultaneously or independently, depending on the type of food and the environment in which it is stored.
