There are many possible sources of variation in oven-drying methods of measuring the moisture content of cereal grains and oilseeds. Different methods, involving different time and temperature combinations, give results that vary by more than 1% moisture content. Differences within a method can be equally important, and variations of 0.7% were reported when using the British Standard method for cereal grains. Grinding is believed to be one of the major sources of error and this alone can cause a 1% variation in moisture content.
