Why is water activity so important?
In the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries, water activity is a far more meaningful parameter than water content alone. The aw value defines the freely available water in a product. This unbound water is the basis for the growth of microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, molds) and has a significant influence on:
-
Shelf Life: Effectively Prevent Spoilage and Microbial Growth.
-
Texture and flavor: Avoid clumping in powders or drying out in creams.
-
Chemical Stability: Minimizing Degradation Processes in Medications and Active Ingredients.
