Italian term or phrase: lineari
Can anyone help with the term "lineari" in the following sentence taken from a HACCP manual describing shelf-life tests on a dairy product: "La temperatura di stoccaggio è di 4°C per un tempo di 18-20-25 giorni, che rappresenta il ciclo di raggiungimento dei **lineari** all'estero. Many thanks.

Explanation:
I can't find any Italian dictionary support for this, but linéaires is shelves in French.

As said before, thanks Phil for a great piece of lateral thinking. I'll be indicating it the client as a doubt, but I've ever more convinced that your intuition is right.

Notes to answerer
Asker: That's great "sideways thinking" Phil :-). I hadn't thought of that approach but it would certainly fit and I find it pretty convincing. I'll wait a while to see if anyone else comes up with another interpretation, but I'll probably go with this.
