Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the GY1 Water Activity Meter work?
The GY1 Water Activity Meter employs a capacitive sensor to measure the electrical resistance between two electrodes. As water activity increases, so too does the electrical resistance, providing an accurate indication of Aw.
2. What is the recommended range for water activity in food products?
Generally, water activity levels below 0.6 are considered safe for long-term storage, as they inhibit microbial growth and chemical deterioration.
3. How often should I calibrate the GY1 Water Activity Meter?
Regular calibration is essential to ensure accuracy. It is recommended to calibrate the device every 6-12 months, or more frequently if used extensively.
