Leaf Moisture Nutrition Checker
Screen moisture plus dry-assay-to-fresh protein against caller criteria; distinct from existing standalone leaf dry-matter content, with no nutritional adequacy diagnosis.
Description
A dry-basis protein assay must be converted before comparing protein per fresh leaf mass.
A dry-basis protein assay must be converted before comparing protein per fresh leaf mass. Moisture and protein criteria are separate checks.
Screen moisture plus dry-assay-to-fresh protein against caller criteria; distinct from existing standalone leaf dry-matter content, with no nutritional adequacy diagnosis.
When to use Leaf Moisture Nutrition Checker
Use this tool to screen moisture plus dry-assay-to-fresh protein against caller criteria; distinct from existing standalone leaf dry-matter content, with no nutritional adequacy diagnosis.
Prepare cocoon, larval, leaf or reeling measurements on a consistent batch and moisture basis. Use the declared mass, length and time units.
How to use Leaf Moisture Nutrition Checker and understand its results
- Prepare cocoon, larval, leaf or reeling measurements on a consistent batch and moisture basis. Use the declared mass, length and time units.
- Enter freshLeafGrams, dryLeafGrams, dryMatterProteinFraction, callerWaterFractionBounds, callerMinimumProteinGramsPer100Fresh using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read waterMassFraction, proteinGramsPer100Fresh, withinCallerMoistureBand, meetsCallerFreshProteinThreshold. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| freshLeafGrams | Fresh leaf grams | number | Required |
| dryLeafGrams | Dry leaf grams | number | Required |
| dryMatterProteinFraction | Dry matter protein fraction | number | Required |
| callerWaterFractionBounds | Caller water fraction bounds | list of number | Required |
| callerMinimumProteinGramsPer100Fresh | Caller minimum protein grams per100 fresh | number | Required |
Use positive fresh mass, dry mass no greater than fresh, fractions in [0,1], two ordered moisture bounds and nonnegative protein minimum. Moisture-band endpoints and protein equality both pass.1
protein g/100g fresh = 100 × dry grams × dry protein fraction/fresh grams Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| waterMassFraction | Water mass fraction | number |
| proteinGramsPer100Fresh | Protein grams per100 fresh | number |
| withinCallerMoistureBand | Within caller moisture band | boolean |
| meetsCallerFreshProteinThreshold | Meets caller fresh protein threshold | boolean |

}Limitations and assumptions
Meeting supplied criteria does not establish overall nutritional adequacy.
Numbers and computed results must be finite; overflow produces an error. Numeric lists are limited to 100,000 entries; the rules above may require smaller limits. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use Leaf Storage Wilt Percent Limit Checker: Audit matched stored leaf mass loss against a caller wilt criterion and split water/dry change using paired assays; signed component changes are retained and spoilage is not diagnosed. For a complementary task, use Cocoon FCR Leaf Conversion: Compute net consumed fresh/dry leaf per fresh cocoon harvest after separately assayed leftovers; unlike biomass-gain fish FCR, cocoon harvest is an explicitly different denominator.
