3. Define the correlation between aw, T and PPM (w/w) from the
measured values. Calculate A and B according to the following
example.

Example (measured water content 213 ppm):
saturation
A = (LOG(1132.98)-LOG(445.607))/(1/(57.6+273.16)-
1/(24.1+273.16)) = -1189.4581
B= LOG(445.607)-(-1189.4581)/(24.1 + 273.16) = 6.6503583
Assumptions:
The isoterm of water activity versus water concentration is linear and the
solubility curve has the form of the given equation.
