Water activity determination Water activity could be measured by adjusted to a specific aw by equilibrating food samples in chambers over saturated solutions (which produce a known ERH in the chamber) and calculating the one where there is no mass change. This is too laborious and slow to be useful in practice. Instead, the water activity meter used in this lab brings the sample into a small chamber where the headspace is in contact with a mirror. The mirror is chilled and eventually reaches the dew point of the air (i.ee., the temperature when water starts to condense on surfaces). The mirror "fogs up" and the temperature at which this occurs is measured and the relative humidity of the gas (and hence the food) calculated automatically. Data presentation 1.
