The closest word I can think of is "aging", but perhaps there is a better term. This one is supposed to be a fairly general term covering decay, sunburn, oxidation, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Aging or deterioration
説明:
Aging is good, but I guess it doesn't include sun damage and stuff like that.

Many thanks to everyone. I decide to go with "deterioration", which is more general than aging.

change in properties


説明:
変質 is, by itself, rather neutral term, but indication is "something changing into something bad, yet occasionally into better".
I beleive "change in properties" is same, but not so obvious as "deterioration".

中立  Kurt Hammond: this might be applicable in a scientific or extremely quantitative context but I don't think it is the natural wording for a commercial context.

spoilage


説明:
Here is another alternative for you: (product) spoilage

The term "spoilage" comes up often in terms of various types of inventory "going bad."

The above site refers to product “spoilage” with cosmetics and such. Ingredients are always being developed to increase the life of such products. Or else, the company can lose a lot of money. There are many other site references to this "spoilage" problem.

“Spoilage” is also used with fresh foods (meats, veggies, etc.)

Alternatively: "Perishables" is used too.
