What is Water activity

What is water activity?

Water activity is defined under static conditions of equilibrium. Under such conditions, the partial pressure of water vapor (p) at the surface of the product is equal to the partial pressure of water vapor in the immediate environment of the product. Any exchange of moisture between the product and its environment is driven by a difference between these two partial pressures.
