    is allowed. The so-called proper water activity is whether water molecules are controlled by other substances. If you add a lot of salt, a lot of sugar, a lot of alcohol, the food is not easy to spoil, and the microorganisms are not easy to grow. Because these things can increase osmotic pressure, reduce water activity, and inhibit the reproduction of microorganisms.
