What is water activity?
Water activity (Aw) measurement is most commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical industry, where it's 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 perishable products such as food, seeds and medicines.
