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.
