Free Seminar on Water Activity in Confections

[Jim D.]

I received an e-mail from Decagon, maker of the Pawkit (which some on eGullet own) as well as other water activity meters, about a free online seminar the company is offering, and I thought other eGullet members might be interested.  I checked with Decagon, and it is open not only to those in business but also to hobbyists (when registering, the latter can enter "self-employed" or "hobbyist" in the Organization field). Decagon also said that the seminar is not specific to a particular water activity instrument but focuses on how water activity can be used as a tool for product formulation and quality control.  Here are the details:

 

Water Activity for Candy &
Confectionery Products

Most candy has a well defined "moisture sweet spot"—an ideal range where texture properties are perfect. And surprisingly small changes in water activity correlate with big differences in a candy product’s texture.

Attend this seminar and learn:

• The relationship between texture and water activity in a wide variety of candy products
• How to identify a candy product's "moisture sweet spot"
• How to use water activity to maintain consistency and quality in your product
•  
• Presenter: Dr. Brady Carter, Senior Research Scientist, Decagon Devices
  Date: June 9, 2015 9-10 AM PDT.

Chris,

Perhaps someone on eGullet with a smartphone will record the seminar and then send it to you.  I would, but I don't have a smartphone.
