Schaller measurement technology expertise
The Water activity (aw) is a critical factor in the field of food science and plays an important role in determining food safety, stability and quality. It is a measure of the amount of water available for microbial and chemical reactions in a food system. The water activity scale ranges from 0 to 1, where pure water has an aw value of 1,0 and values below 0,6 are generally considered inhibitory to the growth of most microorganisms.
There are several reasons why water activity is important for food:
In summary, water activity plays a crucial role in food safety, preservation, shelf life extension, texture and overall quality of food products. By controlling water activity, food manufacturers can ensure product stability, reduce spoilage and increase food safety for consumers.
With the humimeter RH2 Water activity measuring device you can easily and quickly determine the water activity of your food. Two different sensors guarantee the optimal type of measurement, depending on the nature of the material.
We would be happy to advise you personally on our user-friendly, highly professional laboratory device. More information can be found here: humimeter RH2 aw value tester
