Abstract

During testing of milk powder samples (GOST 10970-87) it was established that water activity was 0,295+0,027. At this meaning growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds is stopped. The authors of the article advise to measure water activity in milk powder and products with intermediate moisture with aquameter. Known empiric equations couldn't be applied for calculating this characteristic.
