We are currently working on extending shelf life by:

 

- lowering pH  of sauces
lowering water activity of sauces

 

Our sauces are hot filled and stored under 4'C.

 

My goal is to achieve pH <4.6 and ~0.92 aw for all our sauces.
What sort of ingredients will help reduce water activity?

Adding salts and sugars changes the flavour content of the sauces. 
Do you think adding Xanthan Gum may help for lowering water activity?
