What is aw if you add 20 g propylene glycol to 100 g meat at 50% moisture content (wb)? Boundary conditions: 100 g meat with 50 g wate+ 50 g solids Assume initial aw = 1 before addition of solute Assume meat solids no effect Assume all solute dissolved Assume ideal ie ! =1 Ideal Calculation: Moles glycol =20/76= 0.263 Moles water = 50/18 = 2.778 Xwater = [ 2.778/(2.778 + 0.263) ] =0.9136 =aw= 0.914 Xsolute = 1-0.9136=0.0864

20 g glycol to 50 g water gives 50/20 = 2.5 g water/g glycol or 250 g water / 100 g glycol Use polynomial regression aw = 0.906 thus less than ideal which gave 0.914 From this ! = 0.906/0.914 = 0.991

questions
How good is assumption ? Can we estimate activity coefficient from base principals? Van Laar equation
a = ! X water = ! [1 " X solute ] ln a = ln ! + ln [1 " X solute ] at low X s ln(1-X s ) =X s ln ! H 2O = K # $Xs % & Van Larr equation thus ln a = K # $Xs % & + ln [ X water ]

To determine make solutions at different levels of Xs Plot ln [a/Xw ] vs Xs 2

Single Solute correction for non-ideality
