    This document provides 4 official methods for determining the loss on drying (moisture) in various sugars: A) Vacuum drying at <70C for 2 hours to dry a 2-5g sample until weight changes <2mg between 1 hour intervals. B) Drying at atmospheric pressure at 100C for 3 hours until weight changes <2mg between 1 hour intervals, or 105-110C for large grain sugars. C) Drying a diluted 20-30% solid sample containing ~1g dry matter on layers of fine and coarse pumice stone at 70C under vacuum until weight changes <2mg. D) Mixing a diluted sample with quartz sand,

    AOAC Official Method 925.45

    Loss on Drying (Moisture) in Sugars

    First Action 1925

    A. Vacuum Drying (Final Action)

    (Applicable to cane and beet, raw and refined sugars.)

    Dry 2-5 g test portion, 920.175(a) (see 44.1.01), in flat dish (Ni, Pt or Al with tight-fitcover), 2 h at
    <70°C (preferably 60°C), under pressure <50 mm Hg (6.7 kPa). Bleed oven with current of air (dried
    by passing through anhydrous CaSO4, P2O5, or other efficient desiccant) during drying to remove
    water vapor. Remove dish from oven, cover, cool in desiccator, and weigh. Redry 1 h and repeat
    process until change in weight between successive dryings at 1 h intervals is <2 mg.

    B. Drying at Atmospheric Pressure (Procedure 1960)

    (Applicable to cane and beet, raw and refined sugars.)

    Dry ca 5 g test portion, 920.175(a) (see 44,1.01), in flat dish (Ni, Pt, or Al with tight-fit cover), 3 h at
    100°C. Remove dish, cover, cool in desiccator, and weigh. Redry 1 h and repeat process until change
    in weight between successive dryings at 1 h intervals is <2 mg. For large-grain sugars, increase
    temperature to 105°C-110°C in final heating periods to expel last traces of occluded water. Report
    loss in weight as H2O.

    C. Drying on Pumice Stone (Final Action)

    (Applicable to massccuites, molasses, and other liquid and semiliquid products.)

    Prepare pumice stone of 2 grades of fineness, one to pass through 1 mm sieve, other through 6 mm
    but not 1 mm sieve. Digest each 8 h with H2SO4, (1 +4) on steam bath. Wash acid-free and heat to
    525°C.

    Make determination in flat metal dish 60 mm diameter. Place 3 mm layer of the fine pumice stone
    on bottom of dish, then 6-10 mm layer of course pumice stone; dry and weigh. Dilute sample with
    weighed portion of H20 so that diluted material contains 20-30% solid matter. Weigh, into prepared
    dish, amount of diluted sample to yield ca 1 g dry matter. If this weighing cannot be made rapidly,
    use weighing bottle provided with cork through which pipet passes. Dry at 70°C under pressure <50
    mm Hg (6.7kPa), bleeding with dry air as in A. Make trial weightings at 2 h intervals toward end of
    drying period until change in weight is<2 mg. Report loss in weight as H2O. Substances containing
    little or no fructose or other readily decomposable substance may be dried in oven at 100°C.

    D. Drying on Quartz Sand (Final Action)

    (Applicable to massecuites, molasses, and other liquid and semiliquid products.)


    Digest pure quartz sand that passes No. 40 but not No. 60 sieve with HCl, wash acid-free, dry, and
    ignite. Preserve in stoppered bottle.

    Place 25-30 g prepared sand and short stirring rod in dish ca 55 mm diameter and 40 mm deep,
    fitted with cover. Dry thoroughly, cover dish, cool in desiccator, and weigh immediately. Add enough
    diluted product of known weight to yield ca 1 g dry matter and mix thoroughly with sand. Heat on
    steam bath 15-20 min, stirring at 2-3 min intervals, or until mass becomes too stiff to manipulate
    readily. Dry at <70%C (preferably 60°C) under pressure <50 mm Hg, (6.7 kPa), bleeding with dry air
    as in A. Make trial weighings at 2 h intervals toward end of drying period (ca 18 h) until change in
    weight is <2 mg.

    For materials containing no fructose or other readily decomposable substance, dry 8-10 h at
    atmospheric pressure in oven at 100°C, cool in desiccator, and weigh, repeating heating and
    wejghing until loss in 1 h heating is <2 mg, Report loss in weight as H2O.

    As dry sand, as well as dried residue, absorbs appreciable moisture on standing over most
    desiccating agents, make all weighings as quickly as possible after cooling in desiccator.
