BasisProtein

Protein can be reported on two bases: as is, which includes the moisture in the powder, and dry matter, which excludes it. Enter the protein and moisture values, choose the conversion direction and compare supplier specifications, certificates of analysis and technical data on a consistent basis.

Start from a specification

Typical published values are provided as starting points. Replace them with figures from your own product specification.

Protein content
91.6%
Protein — dry matter basis

87% protein as is at 5% powder moisture is equivalent to 91.6% protein on a dry matter basis. It is the same powder — only the basis of expression has changed.

This tool converts protein values between as is and dry matter basis using the protein and moisture figures entered. It does not assess analytical accuracy, specification compliance or product quality.
