Abstract:
Studies were made of the prediction of intracellular water activity (aw) of microorganisms grown at reduced aw. These included the determination and prediction of aw of potassium L‐glutamate solutions and the prediction of aw in mixed solutions of various compatible solutes and macromolecules. Compatible solutes studied were L‐proline, glycerol, potassium chloride and D‐arabitol. The results indicate that aw predictions of such mixtures may be done with acceptable accuracy by neglecting solute‐solute interactions. Copyright © 1983, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
