Water activity of aqueous solutions of ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymers and maltodextrins

The water activity of aqueous solutions of EO-PO block copolymers of six different molar masses and EO/PO ratios and of maltodextrins of three different molar masses was determined at 298.15 K. The results showed that these aqueous solutions present a negative deviation from Raoult's law. The F...
