Moisture content analysis is a critical component of material quality and essentially a function of quality control in most production and laboratory facilities, from biological research organization, pharmaceutical manufacturers to food producers and packer, moisture content control greatly influences the physical properties and product quality of nearly all substances and materials at all stages of processing and final product existence [Richardson, 1996].
Currently, many moisture analysis methods are available for commercial purposes. The primary method of water content determination include, spectroscopic, chemical, conductively and thermo gravimetric analysis and the use of halogen heating as the source of thermal radiation. To understand the thermo-gravimetric moisture analysis principle, it is important to understand what moistures is the definition of moisture content and the effects of moisture on material processing and formulating [Thiex. 2002].
