When a food sample comes into equilibrium with the atmosphere surrounding it, the water activity in the food sample becomes equal to the relative humidity of the atmosphere surrounding it. Once this equilibrium is reached, the food sample neither gains nor loses moisture over time. 3, record 1, English, - equilibrium%20relative%20humidity

Puisque le degré d'humidité d'équilibre des semences est fonction de leur teneur en huile, la meilleure mesure correspondant à la norme relative au séchage est l'humidité relative à l'équilibre (HRE). Cette constante est déterminée par l'humidité relative et la température de l'environnement de séchage. 1, record 1, French, - humidit%C3%A9%20relative%20%C3%A0%20l%27%C3%A9quilibre

Este parámetro [la actividad acuosa] es equivalente a la humedad relativa en equilibrio que es la humedad a la cual se igualan la presión de vapor de humedad del alimento (relación entre el agua y los sólidos) y la presión parcial de humedad del aire ambiente, es decir, que un alimento no ganaría ni perdería humedad. 1, record 1, Spanish, - humedad%20relativa%20en%20equilibrio
