Description
For positive airDryInput, moistureFraction in [0,1), and nonnegative recoveredSolids return dryInput=airDryInput*(1-moistureFraction), yieldFraction=recoveredSolids/dryInput, and airDryYield=recoveredSolids/airDryInput.
Botanical laboratory records distinguish wet mass, dry matter, carriers, extract mass, and assay response. A fraction or reference comparison depends on the chosen material basis and supplied analytical method. Voucher and monograph metadata help identify records but do not themselves authenticate a specimen or establish product quality.
For positive airDryInput, moistureFraction in [0,1), and nonnegative recoveredSolids return dryInput=airDryInput*(1-moistureFraction), yieldFraction=recoveredSolids/dryInput, and airDryYield=recoveredSolids/airDryInput.
When to use this tool
Use Herbal Extractive Dry Mass Yield Term when you need this mass-basis, assay-response, extraction, or source-record calculation for supplied laboratory data.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter airDryInput, moistureFraction, recoveredSolids. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read dryInput, yieldFraction, airDryYield. Use the output convention below.

}Limitations and assumptions
- Masses need one unit and moisture is wet-basis. Yields can exceed one because solids are not capped by input; added carriers, solvent residues, extraction protocol, and medicinal quality are not checked.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the appropriate authenticated reference material, analytical protocol, and source records for a full laboratory assessment. Verify moisture basis, response factors, and extract/carrier definitions before comparing results.
