Dear Cchotelal, you must consult the AOAC methods guidebook for the specific method to your material of interest. For example, if you want to determine the moisture content of paper, you would look up the AOAC Loss of Drying Oven test method for paper and it would provide the oven temperature and time for the test. Y
ou will tare the vessel and weigh the paper, in this instance, before and after the AOAC method is completed.
