Allen, I'm referring to dry product, not patties. For proteins and vitamins,
moisture allows chemical degradation.  For lipids and sterols, anaerobic
conditions, or antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or citric acid would
likely be more important.

The sugar content helps to prevent microbial growth.
