    Moisture Content Determination of Cabbage

    Uploaded by

    Ferdinand Zamora
    The document describes an experiment measuring the moisture content of cabbage samples over time using two drying methods: oven drying and sun drying. For oven drying, the moisture content of 5 cabbage samples was measured every 60 minutes over 6 hours, ranging from 54.9% to 59.08%. For sun drying, the moisture content of 3 samples was measured periodically over 14.5 hours, from 6.94% to 17.86%. Additional samples were dried using both methods, with oven drying removing 68.88-75.78% moisture and sun drying removing 7.14-17.86% moisture.
