Moisture research for better product development
We give food companies the instruments and expertise to manage moisture’s impact on product quality, safety, and shelf life.

Every product on the a supermarket shelf was shaped by decisions made in research — what goes in, how it's made, how long it needs to last. Moisture influences all of those factors.
Research teams that can measure and predict water’s influence catch failures in the lab instead of after launch, and bring safer, longer-lasting products to market faster.

The complete picture on moisture
A reading is only the start. Our instruments, our software, the people behind them, work together to turn data into confidence.
World-renowned instruments
More than 40 years ago, Addium helped establish how moisture and water activity is measured in food. AQUALAB devices remain the industry standard today. Research teams reach for them because the numbers are precise, accurate, repeatable, and accepted wherever the results have to stand – in a spec, a study, or a submission.


Dedicated moisture research lab
AQUALAB is backed by a working research lab staffed with scientists who study moisture full time. They develop methods, run studies, and publish what they find. When a research team hits a moisture problem the textbooks don’t cover, these are the people who help work it out.
Advanced software and AI
Addium’s suite of software tools turn moisture data into foresight and decisive action. It clarifies how moisture behaves inside a product and predicts where that leads – before a batch is ever made.


“With AQUALAB, we could reduce the moisture content and variation between foods, improving the production efficiency and quality while lowering energy consumption and waste.”

“It’s a game-changer. Being able to have another data point to extend the shelf life saves [the R&D group] money, it saves money manufacturing, and it saves money managing the inventory, being able to know that you're safe having a product sit that long.”
