Formula

Dry solids mass = mass*(1-initial/100); Estimated final mass = mass*(1-initial/100)/(1-target/100); Water removed = mass-mass*(1-initial/100)/(1-target/100)

Made for real tasks

Worked example

Inputs

Starting food mass: 1000 g
Initial moisture wet basis: 80 %
Target moisture wet basis: 15 %

Expected results

Dry solids mass: 200 g
Estimated final mass: 235.2941176 g
Water removed: 764.7058824 g

How to use this tool

Enter starting food mass, initial moisture wet basis, and target moisture wet basis in the displayed units.
Calculate and use each labeled result for dehydrated food solids balance. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

  "initial": 80,
  "target": 15
}

Accuracy and scope

Mass balance assumes no solids loss. Moisture percentage does not establish shelf stability, water activity or safe storage.
