Abstract

Raw materials have been used in different branches of biotechnology (food, nutrition, pharmacy and health care). These materials are sensitive to several factors particularly oxygen, moisture, and temperature. The stability and quality of raw materials during their storages depend on these factors. This study provides a very short view on the effects of oxygen, moisture, and temperature on the stability of raw materials during storage period using selected literature information.
