Abstract

Membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) is introduced as a method for measuring water activity in nonpolar solvents, aqueous solutions and gas phase. The determination of the rate of hydrolysis of diphenyl carbonate by porcine liver esterase as a function of water activity in diisopropyl ether is presented as an example. A linear relationship is found between the enzyme activity and the water activity.
