The spoilage of formulated products by microbial action is a factor in determining the shelf life. This book should be of interest to formulation scientists and technologists, technical and regulatory managers, and chemists working on the development of materials for products.

Microbes are known to live in an enormous range of environments. Their ability to survive and proliferate in diverse industrial systems is often a surprise to those not exposed to these problems in their work. These systems contain a range of potential carbon sources, one common theme being surfactants. Surfactants are often not the components most prone to spoilage since some systems contain highly susceptible natural components, such as starch and xanthum gum, but the surfactant is a key part of the formulation, and its extensive breakdown usually means that the material is beyond recovery....
