It has been demonstrated that the processing, bottling and storage of the product and, to a lesser degree, the herb infusion and the amount used, are factors important in prolonging shelf life and encouraging its acceptability. However, only by a careful handling of the product by the producer, retailer and consumer can the most satisfactory solution to the problem be attained.
