The eggplant has a dry basis moisture content of 8.9 grams of water per gram of dry solids. What is its wet basis moisture content?

The eggplant has a dry basis moisture content of 8.9 grams of water per gram of dry solids. What is its wet basis moisture content? Correct Answer 89.8%

% Wet Basis Moisture = Weight of Water in the Sample * 100 / % of Total Weight of the Sample Total weight of the sample= 8.9 g of water + 1.00 g of dry solids. = 9.9g % Wet Basis Moisture = 8.9 * 100 / 9.9 = 89.8%
