Water activity and its prediction: A review

Water activity is a very useful parameter in food preservation. Raoult's law gave a first base in the case of ideal solutions. In 1966, Norrish presented a thermodynamically based equation to predict activity coefficients in confectionery syrups. Later, the Gibbs-Duhem equation was used to prod...
