Additionally, a control sample consisting entirely of a salt-free/sugar-free blend (e.g., Mrs. Dash or similar) will be tested. The expected recovery is \numrange{95}{100}{\unit\percent}.
The accepted discrepancy in the weighing of all samples (control, sensitivity, and test) will be \SI{\pm 0.5}{\gram}.
Due to the lack of a calibrated oven, samples will be allowed to dry in a draft-free location at room temperature. Weights will be recorded daily beginning on the third day after (T=3) after the samples are washed (T=0). When two concurrent weighings are within \SI{\pm 0.1}{\gram}, the sample will be considered to be thoroughly dry and the second reading will will be used in further calculations.
\paragraph{Initial Values of Control and Sensitivity Samples} The masses for the control and sensitivity samples are in table \ref{tb:cont_rec_mass}. Because of the high density of these samples, approximately \SI{25}{\gram} of each sample was used.
\paragraph{Initial Values of Control and Sensitivity Samples} The masses for the control and sensitivity samples are in table \ref{tb:cont_rec_mass}. Because of the high density of the salt/sugar and sensitivity samples, approximately \SI{25}{\gram} of each sample was used. Because the salt-free blend is also sugar free and consists entirely of botanical elements, only \SI{15}{\gram} of this sample was used.
