2 1. Water activity : definition & concept a w is an image of the thermodynamic activity of water a w is the ratio between the relative vapour pressure of a given sample ps and the one of pure water p. a w ranges from 0 to 1 (pure water). a w is equivalent to equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) and a function of water potential (Ψ).
3 MPa MPa 1. Water activity : definition & concept Both a w and Ψ depict the energy status of water in plants, seeds and other hygroscopic matrixes a w Relation between Water Potential (Mpa) and Water Activity (aw) aw 0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,9 1 0 Relationship between seed longevity and a w or Ψ is linear and similar from species to species. (Roberts & Ellis, 1989) a w MPa water potential
4 Relative reaction rate 1. Water activity : definition & concept Degradation reaction rates as a w + Relation between depreciating agents and aw Exception for lipids oxidation occurring both at low and high a w levels. Lipid oxidation Hydrolitic reactions - Enzyme activity Mold growth Yeast growth Bacteria growth Water activity Adapted from Labuza et al. J. Food Technol, 1972
5 1. Water activity : definition & concept a w consists in measuring equilibrium relative humidity generated by a sample in a sealed vial Advantages : rapid, reproducible and non destructive method. P. Baldet
6 1. Water activity : definition & concept a w probe Display unit Probe and sample holder assembled Sample holder Sample in vial
7 1. Water activity : definition & concept Water behaviour in seeds can be described with moisture sorption isotherms obtained experimentally. Each isotherm is specific of the tested sample. A given matter may have a significant intra specific variability implying replication of isotherms. For a given ERH or a w corresponds a resulting moisture content.
8 - Moisture content (%) + 1. Water activity : definition & concept Typical shape of moisture sorption isotherms The three states of water Monolayer water a w < 0,25 Multi layer water 0,25 < a w < 0,75 Bulk water a w > 0,75 Sorption isotherm Water activity

16 Our hypothesis : there is an universal a w for optimal storage of orthodox seeds Mean inflexion point from all isotherm 3rd model analysis is a w 0.35 (+/ *, p = 0.01). Moisture a w 0.35 > BET & GAB monolayer moisture contents for all the tested species. Resulting moisture a w 0.35 are relevant to the state of the art storage values for the tested species. At a w 0.35, chemical and biotic degradation factors are minimum. * : confidence 99%

In: Proceedings of the third Annual Meeting of the International Congress of Food Science And Technology, pp Chicago: Institute of Food Technology.
18 Conclusion The results obtained with 11 orthodox forest species show that 0.35 is an optimal a w value for orthodox seeds drying and conservation. This value can be applied to all orthodox species without long moisture behaviour characterisation. We propose that a w can be introduced in ISTA quality rules.
