Water in Food

Two things really get us excited here in Decagon's AquaLab product group: 1) Making the best water activity instruments possible for our customers, and 2) eating tasty meats. To this end, we've hatched an ingenious plan to do both. 

The concept of water activity has only been around for 40 years but people have been manipulating foods to make them safe and delicious for thousands. Salt, smoke, mold, drying - all of these contribute to a shelf-stable delicacy. So we, solely in the name of science of course, decided to make up some sausages. We're learning a lot and documenting our progress as we go on our blog, www.waterinfood.com. We've had some interesting results, so check it out!
