Only fresh plant material was
used in all of the extractions. The initial moisture of this rosemary
was 70%. In fact the dry mass ratio (DMR) was determined through
the use of a moisture analyser (OHAUS MB35). 5 g of sample were
heated 45 min at 110 C to obtain the mass stability. This method
gives us the water content of the sample.
