Abstract:
The objective of this study was to determine the suitability, precision and accuracy of the Vaisala Humicap electric hygrometer for aw measurements in the range 0.752‐0.974 (at 25°C). Results of the statistical evaluation indicated that this hygrometer, when calibrated and operated as described here, provides a convenient and fast means of aw measurement having adequate accuracy and precision for most food applications.
