preservability
Capacity for lasting
Preservability is the quality of being able to be preserved—how well something can be kept from decay, damage, or loss over time.
The term appears in discussions of food storage, archival materials, and digital records: The preservability of these documents depends on climate control.
Some fruits have better preservability than others.
