How Do I Account for Ingredient Wastage because of Moisture Loss? and How to Use the Moisture Loss Recipe Yield Adjustment Tool?
Account for moisture loss in your recipe by following these simple steps:
- Weigh ingredients before and after processing, cooking, or storage to determine how much the yield is reduced due to moisture loss.
- Moisture loss can be measured in various units depending on the method of your choice.
- Factor the amount lost into your calculations by clicking on the recipe yield adjustment tool in the recipe builder page.
- Add the difference value under the adjustment tab for moisture loss and watch how your recipe updates.
For example, if you have 100 grams of an ingredient and it loses 10 grams after processing, the moisture loss is 10%.
Moisture Loss Percentage = (Initial Weight−Final Weight / Initial Weight) x 100
