Seed storage

When seeds are stored, water activity (Aw) measurement is used to determine shelf life and quality. The Aw of a product is measured in a closed space at a constant temperature. Measuring water activity with equipment of Rotronic means measuring the relative humidity of the air around the product within a scale of 0..1. This is a measure for microbiological, chemical and enzymatic stability of the seeds.
