Snapshot 1: conversion of moisture content on a wet basis to a dry basis in a high moisture food

Snapshot 2: conversion of moisture content on a dry basis to a wet basis in a low moisture food

Snapshot 3: conversion of moisture content on a dry basis to a wet basis in a high moisture food

The conversion of percentage moisture on a wet basis to a dry basis is calculated with the formula , where is the moisture content on a dry basis in g /100 g dry matter and is the moisture content on a wet basis, that is, g /100 g total mass. The conversion of moisture content on a dry basis to a wet basis is calculated with the formula .

Choose the conversion type to or to with a setter bar and select the quantity to be converted, or , with a slider. The numerical value of the converted moisture content is displayed above a plot of the relationship between and , or and , on which the chosen quantity appears as a moving dot. You can also set the axes maxima of the plot with sliders.
