2.2.1. Moisture content analysis
Durian rinds moisture content was determined by the moisture analyzer (Fig. 2) for faster result.
Approximately, 2 g of naturally air dry of durian rinds required to measure the moisture content. The moisture
analyzer used to determine the moisture content of durian rinds in order to get faster results. To validate the results
from moisture analyzer , durian rinds moisture content was once again determined by oven drying method
according to Malaysian Standard MS ISO 287 : 1985, IDT. Hence, 2 set of measurements were conducted to
determine more accurate value of the durian rinds moisture content.
