Water activity is a critical factor in maintaining the quality, safety, and longevity of cannabis products. It measures the amount of free bioavailable water in a sample.
Why Water Activity Matters
- Mold and Mycotoxin Prevention: Excessive water activity creates an environment where mold and harmful mycotoxins can thrive.
- Preserving Quality and Freshness: Too little water activity can lead to product degradation, impacting factors like taste, aroma, and potency.
- Extending Shelf Life: Optimal water activity levels help to extend the shelf life of cannabis products.
By maintaining a water activity level below 0.65, cannabis products can be effectively protected against microbial growth during storage and before sale. This ensures consumer safety and product integrity.
