The rate of death determinedby the linear regression ethod s ex-pressed s the decimal eduction ime (D-value), which is the time required or inacti-vation of 90% of the populationof test organisms.The rationale or usingD-values s that everyorganism asa characteristicate of deathwhen subjectedo a specificethal treatment 4). This enables laboratoryo providequantitative esultson the rate of inactivation f specific est organismsn a product.Thus, the linear regression ethodcanbe used o determine he effectof formulationchanges nd componentnteraction n the stabilityof the preservativeystem.Since he linearregression ethodwasadopted,we haveobserved hangesn preserva-tive efficacy f some ormulations uring the course f stabilitystudies.This reportillustrates he value of performingpreservativefficacy estson stability samples yshowinghow a shampoo reservativeystem eteriorates ith age.
