Our moisture determination method, which uses conductivity to test for moisture using a Wheatstone bridge, is faster than vacuum oven methods and is published in the Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemist (AOAC). It is the only non-oven method that is approved by the AOAC for use with dried fruit, making it widely used by the dried fruit industry both in the U.S. and internationally.
DFA’s moisture meter is the only device approved by the AOAC for use with our method. The meter has four patent classifications: U.S., International, Cooperative, and European.
