@ -88,6 +88,31 @@ To confirm this, three control samples will also be tested: 25 mg of sucrose, 25
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 95-100\%.
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 $\pm0.1$ g, the sample will be considered to be thoroughly dry and the second reading will will be used in further calculations.
\paragraph{Control and Sensitivity Samples} The masses for the control and sensitivity samples are in table \ref{tb:cont_rec_mass}.
