SOP for determination of dry matter content

Moisture content affects the processability, shelf-life, usability and overall quality of a product as well as its sensorial properties. Accurate moisture content determination, therefore, plays a crucial role in ensuring quality as it affects processing, packaging and final product quality. Thermogravimetric methods which involve moisture loss through heating might render the samples not suitable for further analysis as other vital ingredients may have been lost in the process. This SOP is applicable for RTB products wet or dry samples.
