What is water activity?
 

Water activity is defined as the availability of free water in a sample and should not be confused with water content. The water activity is given as the aw - value with a range between 0 (absolute dryness) and 1 (condensed humidity).

Only the free water takes an active part in the exchange with the ambient humidity and can form an ideal medium for microbiological growth on the product surface which influences the microbiological stability. Water activity also has an important effect on the chemical reactions, texture, colour and taste.
