It is important to select carbohydrates based on the physical properties and taste quality of the final product you are seeking! Antibacterial effects are expected.
"Water activity" is an indicator of microbial control used in food product design. The higher the osmotic pressure, lower the molecular weight, and higher the sugar concentration, the more it is possible to suppress water activity, leading to expected bacteriostatic effects. Water activity correlates with osmotic pressure, molecular weight, and sugar concentration. Additionally, water activity is influenced not only by the type of sugars but also by other auxiliary ingredients, making it important to select sugars based on the desired physical properties and taste of the final product. [Features] ■ The higher the osmotic pressure, lower the molecular weight, and higher the sugar concentration, the more it is possible to suppress water activity. ・Expected bacteriostatic effects. ■ There is a correlation between water activity and osmotic pressure, molecular weight, and sugar concentration. ■ Influenced not only by the type of sugars but also by other auxiliary ingredients. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
**Relationship between Water Activity, Osmotic Pressure, and Molecular Weight** - Water activity is a numerical value (0-1) that indicates the proportion of free water in food, and it is used as an indicator for microbial control. - The lower the water activity, the less free water there is, making it difficult for microorganisms to proliferate. - The higher the water activity, the more free water there is, making it easier for microorganisms to proliferate. - By controlling water activity, a bacteriostatic effect can be expected. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
