Recently, it was shown that different components present in food systems also influenced microbial growth and the minimum Aw at which microbial activity occurred. Thus, water activity alone is not a sufficient indicator of potential mold growth in food systems. The composition of the system also influences microbial growth and the stability of a food system.
