Table 2.

Loss of bound water by 5 min evaporation in 0% RH sealed chamber

Specimen dried in Drierite % decrease in mass
First layer bound water −0.295% ± 0.86%a
Second layer bound water −3.27% ± 0.53%a,b
Third layer bound water −6.17% ± 1.43%b,c

Values are mean ± SD of % decreases in total water loss of Drierite dried specimens. Groups identified by different superscript letters are significantly different (p<0.05).
