This method is used to determine the percent moisture within the sample. With whole soybeans, a 10 g sample is weighed into a moisture dish and dried in an oven at 130ºC for 3 hours. Similarly, a 5 g sample of ground soybeans is weighed and dried in the oven for 2 hours. After removing from the oven and cooling, the samples are weighed.
