Water Activity
aW
Water Activity Meter
Method Description
Water activity measures the availability of water for microbial growth and chemical reactions, which directly influences microbial growth and chemical reactivity. This parameter is critical for predicting shelf-life and determining appropriate packaging requirements, as products with higher water activity require more stringent preservation strategies or modified atmosphere packaging to prevent spoilage.
