SummaryA micro-drying method is described, which is simple, rapid and reproducible. It has been shown to give results in reasonable agreement with the Karl Fischer method, and with the vapour-pressure method. The results on samples of low moisture content are, however, considerably higher than those by the so-called American standard method. The method has been in routine use for over 3 years.

Abstract The AOAC method for the determination of the moisture content of molasses, 31.074–31.076, has been modified so that it is applicable to a variety of molasses products and not only to feed grade molasses (diluted to 79.5° Brix).

Abstract Collaborative studies were conducted in 1963, 1964, and 1965 to compare the Karl Fischer method with the vacuum drying method (29.008) for determining water in molasses. Results by the Karl Fischer method were in good agreement with known water contents in all studies, and the method is recommended for adoption as official, first action.
