The objective of this work was to evaluate and model the combined effect of temperature (5-25 degrees C) and water activity (aw, 0.890-0.980) on Pichia anomala strain K growth and lag phase. Variance analysis showed a highly significant effect of aw, solute and temperature on strain K growth. The decrease of aw and temperature significantly reduced and delayed growth, the effect being more drastic with NaCl compared to the other solutes.
