Loss of bound water by 5 min of chemical dehydration

Specimens dried in Drierite Ethanol Acetone
First layer of bound water 2.80 ± 2.49%a 1.90 ± 0.06%a
Second layer of bound water −3.65 ± 1.15%b −7.41 ± 0.94%d
Third layer of bound water −16.62 ± 2.02%c −23.30 ± 2.60%e

Values are percent gain or loss of bound water in mean ± SD (n = 6). Groups identified by different superscript letters are significantly different (p<0.05).
