The formula to calculate the moisture loss percentage is:
\[ \text{ML} = \left(\frac{\text{IW} - \text{FW}}{\text{IW}}\right) \times 100 \]
Where:
Moisture loss refers to the reduction in weight of a material due to the evaporation or removal of water content. It is an important parameter in various industries such as food processing, agriculture, and construction, where the moisture content can affect the quality, shelf life, and structural integrity of products and materials.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{ML} = \left(\frac{500 - 450}{500}\right) \times 100 = 10\% \]
The moisture loss percentage is 10%.
