A new application is found for the Novasina Labtouch for testing water activity in bio-degradable plastics made from eco-friendly alginate materials.
Novasina is excited to announce a new application for its Labtouch water activity meter: testing water activity in biodegradable plastics made from eco-friendly alginate materials.
Water activity (aw) is a critical factor not only in food and pharmaceuticals but also in innovative sustainable materials. By measuring aw in alginate-based bioplastics, producers can better understand moisture content, stability, and shelf life, ensuring consistent product performance while maintaining eco-friendly standards.
This new application highlights Labtouch’s versatility and precision, providing researchers and manufacturers with a reliable tool for quality control in the emerging field of sustainable materials. The ability to monitor water activity helps optimize production, reduce material waste, and support the development of durable, biodegradable packaging solutions.
