Clement, you are going too far, dry matter does contain water, typically up to 10% moisture in agricultural and feed products. Dry wheat and dry corn typically contains that much water. Gosh, the butter you buy is specifically mixed to contain as close as possible to 10% or so water (or whatever the current regulation might be), because water is cheaper than fat, the producers make sure the product has the maximum amount allowable by the local law.

Clement: Please relax, and reread and think carefully. The percent protein in the incoming stream is based on dry weight. The reason is to set the standard, and not cause confusion as in real life there is water in just about every thing. If 100 lbs of input mass has 10% protein then there is 10 lbs of protein, this 10 lbs of protein, if isolated, would have no water in it leaving 90 lbs of other matter, some of which is water, some of which is fibre, some of which is fat, etc. Zeev, thanks for the assist but Rene was very clear on the state of dry; i.e. no water. This is simply the scientific way to measure. Regards, Sheldon
