Detailed explanation-1: -What is the next step after removing the sample from oven (for moisture content analysis)? Remove the samples from sample crucible/ pans. Place the sample on bench to cool it down.
Detailed explanation-2: -Its procedure is very simple. Just take out a sample from soil, take its weight and put it into the oven for 24 hours then take it out and take its weight again. The difference of weight will be the weight of water present in the soil sample.
Detailed explanation-3: -Distillation – Solvent with a high boiling point is mixed with the food. Hydrometry – The moisture content is determined using the specific gravity of the food. Loss on Drying – Sample is weighed, heated and reweighed to measure the loss of mass after drying.
