Product samples will be analyzed to create a product-specific sorption and desorption DDI curve. The DDI curve gives you a detailed picture of moisture interactions within your product and exactly how formulation, packaging, and storage decisions will affect it.
Reporting options include data only, data plus a simple summary, or data plus analysis and consultation.
You choose which analyses to include in your report:
Ingredient mixing models — Predict final equilibrium and quality implications if components are combined at different water activities and experience moisture migration.
Effects of temperature abuse — Identify temperature sensitivity and predict the consequences of storage under abuse conditions.
Critical water activity — Predict caking and clumping, find glass transition and deliquescence points, and pinpoint critical moisture ranges for product quality.
Packaging evaluation — Determine packaging specifications needed to achieve a certain shelf life and analyze current packaging performance.
Monolayer value determination — The monolayer value represents the most stable condition for any product (where it will have its maximum shelf life).
