A Moisture Analyser detects the overall moisture content of an item. It weighs a sample, evaporates the moisture, then re-weighs the sample. The second reading is then automatically subtracted from the first – revealing how much moisture has been lost.
Food factories will typically use Moisture Analysers to check their recipes and drive standards of consistency.
The readings generated by a Moisture Analyser relate to a combination of bound and unbound moisture. However, a Water Activity Meter targets unbound (or free) moisture, which is the parameter you need to understand if you want to find out how a product is going to react with harmful microorganisms. Because of this, Water Activity Meters are used to determine the storage requirements and estimated lifespan of products. Click here to find out more.
