Does nutritional value of a food expressed in fresh weight the same as wet weight?
Example: when I say the protein content of beef is 20 g/100g fresh weight. can I also state this as 20g/100g wet weight?
Fresh or wet weight refers to sample with its normal moisture content (better define at with level of moisture);
Dry weight refers to dry sample (better define at with level of dryness, otherwise it is ambiguous).
Wet weight contain moisture , water remove from sample natural by sun or artificial by using oven
Fresh weight contain moisture, some extend fresh sample not dry
Adding more: wet weight can be defined when you know the moisture content.
Fresh weight is anything that you weigh right after harvesting.
So both can or can't be the same, for example, if you freeze your sample and then it will be wet weight, not fresh weight.
During harvesting: fresh weight and wet weight will be the same.
This wet basis and dry basis content. For example : An aqueous solution containing 2 g of glucose and 2 g of fructose per 100 g of solution contains 2/100=2% glucose on a wet basis, but 2/4=50% glucose on a dry basis. ... In the example above the glucose concentration is 2% as is and the moisture content is 96%.
