A sub-sample was then taken and assayed for moisture using a recommended two-stage method of moisture determination for organic material [ 25].
The problem is that most modern methods of detecting moisture content involve destroying a small part of the work.
The effects of initial moisture content, rice temperature, drying bed thickness, tempering, and cooling methods on moisture diffusivity and moisture diffusivity coefficient were investigated.
The methods that are discussed include heat recovery and utilization, absorption refrigeration systems, thermal cool storage, liquid (refrigerant) pressure amplification, reprogramming of the AC control systems, economical methods of removal of moisture from the air and initiation of awareness programs for the conservation of A/C energy.
Proximate composition of samples was carried out using the AOAC Official Methods of Analysis [ 16], with analysis of moisture (method 925.04), ash (method 938.08), fat (method 954.02), crude fibre (method 985.29) and protein (method 981.10).
Terracing functioned also as a method of conserving moisture.
The main contribution of this paper is the proposed method of soil moisture estimation using a low-cost GPS L1 receiver, a horizontally polarized antenna, and power spectrum analysis.
Butter or margarine can be added to the slices if wished (this is a traditional method of adding moisture).
Breathing steam is an effective method of providing moisture to your sinuses, but the risk of injury may warrant trying other methods first.
Common methods for moisture determination in cheese rely upon the thermal volatilization of water from cheese and calculation of moisture content based on the resulting loss of mass.
