Not sure

Ok. we will lower the music

You are right. We did a silly mistake. Please calculate properly by yourself

The blue content in beaker is not the part of this test (Moisture Content Test). Just look at the sample in glass petri dish.

Aprrox 10mimt

Because the moisture content is removed from the sample resulting in the loss of the weight.

It depends on what you want. If you want to determine moisture of fresh mushrooms them go for it without drying. But if you want to dry then you must keep a note on the test result that the analysis was done after drying (on dry basis)

The weight of the hot dried sample will be flactuating contineously due to the fact that the hot sample tends to absorption moisture from the environment very fast. So you must cool the hot dried sample into the desiccator before taking the final weight.

Yes. You can use this method.

Same method is applicable. Follow this method.

Yes. This method is applicable for vegetable pickle sample

We frequently find the moisture content of chips as 1% to 2%. Follow you country's specification.

Yes you can!

@@MicroChemsExperiments Thank you! :)

This method is also applicable for the determination of moisture content of parmesan cheese. Grinding or chapping into small pieces is needed before taking sample for testing.

Your question is not related to this test. Please find your answer from Google.

No

Yes you can! Just powderize or grind your sample before the analysis

It is not clear to me that what did you mean by the "Isolation Process of this video"

AOAC reference method said to use 135 degree Celsius

You can use

Yes you can use.

You can use glass rod to spread your fish muscle sample. After spreading, take the total weight (combined of Dish and sample weight).

Yes. You can use

Mix your last quantity of sample. After mixing, take out homogeneous part of sample (about 50g) from it. Then analyze as per this video.

Kindaa

Same procedure

Naa Kadir, You can determine the moisture content of a solid sample following this method but you have to grind your sample before taking it for testing. Sample Grinding should be done as fast as possible to avoid extra moisture absorption from the environment by the sample.

Sorry. No idea about this. Take help from google.

To avoid moisture absorption from the environment during cooling.

Yes. you can.

Same temperature

Same temperature and time are needed as shown in this video

You can

Yes. You can

Solid sample should not be tested directly. Solid sample should be grounded before testing

Desiccator helps to cool and prevents the moisture absorption from the Environmental Air. First drying is done to dry the glass dish. Second drying is done for sample.

Same method and calculation

You should leave the sample uncovered allowing the removal of moisture.

Leave it uncovered

If your test parameter is "Moisture & Volatile Matters" then you will get the actual result. But if the test parameter is "Moisture Content" then this method is not applicable for the sample which contains volatile matters.

Not sure.

No way to increase

Reference is given in the video title. We modified slightly

@@MicroChemsExperiments OK thanks

You can

Clark Veneracion, Yes. You can use this method for drying leaves.

No. Modify the method by drying at 130 degree Celsius for 3 hours

Grind and blend and then go for the moisture determination

Without using desiccator, Moisture will be absorbed by the sample from the environment after drying. Thus the result will not be accurate.

you have to purchase

Please follow the video strictly to get the accurate results.

You can apply this procedure?

Yes

Plant leaves should not be dried before the test. Just cut the leaves into small pieces. After that go for the moisture analysis

Please take help from Google. Many articles are available on the topic. I think you will not face any problm to get the answer. Thanks

Yes

Yes. This is how we find Total solid.

Yes, it is suitable. You can use this method for flour.

Noted

Yes. You can.

Mohd Aamir Sultan Khan, we did a silly mistake in the calculation (In the subtraction part). The Moisture content for this test will be 11.52%. Please use the calculation given in the board, put the values and solve the equation. Thank you.

@@MicroChemsExperiments okk

Formula is same as AOAC 930.15 mentioned but slightly simplified

Yes, absolutely

Is there a specific AOAC reference for doing this? as this method is specifically for feeds.

Steam bath help to avoid loss of sample during heat treatment which could happen in oven drying of liquid milk sample. That's why it was said to pre heat the sample in steam bath first

@@MicroChemsExperiments Did you happen to know how liquid sample pre-dried in steam bath? Like the procedures, temperature and time needed to do it? Your reply is much appreciated!

@@amninazifa5244 Keep the steam bath temperature at 120 degree Celsius and dry your sample untill maximum water evaporates. Then go for the oven dry following this video for moisture analysis

@@MicroChemsExperiments Thank you so much!

@@amninazifa5244 You are welcome

@Centralland Producer No, you cant use Microwave instead of Hot Air Oven. Microwave have strong penetration power which can disintegrate the sample property. In AOAC official method, it is said to use Hot Air Oven. Thats why we have no option to use Microwave. Thank you.

@@MicroChemsExperiments Thank you very much!

@@centrallandproducer7977 You are most welcome

Nestor Escobella, thanks for your comment. No, you can't use this method for Biodieael sample. Because Biodiesel may contains volatile substance which may loss in high temperature, resulting in sample loss during testing.

@@MicroChemsExperiments Hi? Can I ask a quick question? Is it possible to use microwave instead of oven? If so how long should I the soil sample should stay inside the microwave? Thanks!!

@@centrallandproducer7977 No, you cant use Microwave instead of Hot Air Oven. Microwave have strong penetration power which can disintegrate the sample property. In AOAC official method, it is said to use Hot Air Oven. Thats why we have no option to use Microwave. Thank you.

You can use this method for liquid and semi solid samples but not for volatile substance. Because, at high temperature sample will be removed with the removal of moisture. But if your test parameter is "Moisture & Volatile Substance", then you can follow this method for testing a volatile substance. Secondly, you can not use temperature higher than 133 degree Celsius. Otherwise the sample will burn out slightly, therefore loss of sample.

Watch the video completely, again and again. You will get to know how to calculate. In this video, it is clearly defined. Set an experiment as done in this video and follow the every step. Your problem will be solved.

@@MicroChemsExperiments Thanks for the help, I have just discovered it this morning! Thanks and stay safe!

@@arachnidaaa Thanks to you dear. Stay with us.

In AOAC official method, triplicate test is not said to be done. But you can do in test in triplicate to increase your confidence level on the test results.

Any test method should vary with the change of sample matrix. But the method described in this video is applicable for very wide range of samples. So, you can use this as reference method. Method number is given in the video title.

@@MicroChemsExperiments thanks for the feedback!

Same method for moisture. Fat determination video is already uploaded.

Thanks but I can't able to open the video on Fat content determination. Please help here with a link.

@@Fas880 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9ujqq6k1tyrnoE.html

@@MicroChemsExperiments thank you for sharing. Can we follow the solvent extraction with hexane in soxhlet apparatus after moisture content determination in coconut milk? We can use a single sample, let's say 10 grams of liquid milk. Use IR or Oven method to determine the moisture in liquid milk. By subtracting the moisture weight, we'll get total solids weight. Use total solids weight to run the soxhlet extraction and determine the fat content. Finally we'll also get the non-fat solids. I guess this way is more faster and convenient to get all 4 components from a single sample. What do you think?

Nur Solehah, this is not the ideal method to determine the moisture content of a chemical sample. But you can analyze chemicals having boiling point higher than 200 degree Celsius according to this video because volatile chemicals evaporates before the moisture evaporation.

MicroChem's Experiments thank you for your info

@@nursolehah3276 you are most welcome

Brestney Tu-ayon, Thank you very much for your observations. It is a very simple calculation but we did a big mistake to do this and that's why we are extremely sorry. Please ignore it. Just use the equation for Moisture percent and do the calculation by yourself.

@@MicroChemsExperiments thank youu 🤗

@@jhenabana5294 Its my pleasure 😊😊

Spatulla, Balance Machine, Glass Petri dish

@@MicroChemsExperiments why we need to weigh the sample as early as possible sir?

@@mriresada6351 Because moisture from the environment can be absorbed by the same if we expose the sample in the environment for long period of time. Absorption of moisture by the sample from the environment may give questionable test results. Thats why we should weigh sample fast as much as possible.
