WATER ACTIVITY: The Impact on Product Stability and Shelf Life Study
AN EXCLUSIVE INVITATION
WATER
is a major component of foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It influences
the texture, appearance, taste and spoilage of products.
Water Activity(AW) is a measure of the energy status of the water in a system, thusis a parameter of great importance in developing and improving products stability (food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic), especially the major concerns of chemical stability, biodeterioration and microbial spoilage, texture properties, flavour appearance and quality issues of your products.
Learn
more about the emerging world of water activity at this upcoming seminar.
