Determine by a standard method the dry matter. Moisture is then 100 - dry matter.

You need to dry certain amount of sample (1-3 g) using hot air oven (105 degree Celsius for around 12 hours.

Moisture(%) = ( Moisture removed/weight of sample)*100

Moisture removed= Wet weight of sample- weight after drying

Hi,

You can determine of Miosture by air Oven at 105C for Until proven weight, In first take 5 gm of any sample into Oven .

Moisture percentage=( sample after heated/weight of sample)×100
