Determination of Moisture | SpringerLink
Abstract. Moisture determination is one of the most important and most widely used measurements in the processing and testing of foods. Since the amount of dry matter in a food is inversely related to the amount of moisture it contains, moisture content is of direct economic importance to the processor and the consumer.
Moisture Content Determination | Mettler Toledo | Learn …
Typically, moisture content is determined via a thermogravimetric approach, i.e., by loss on drying, in which the sample is heated and the weight loss due to evaporation of moisture is recorded. There are many stages of the production process where moisture determination benefits the overall quality of the finished product: raw materials, goods ...
