    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_basis

    An aqueous solution containing 2 g of glucose and 2 g of fructose per 100 g of solution contains 2/100=2% glucose on a wet basis, but 2/4=50% glucose on a dry basis.If the solution had contained 2 g of glucose and 3 g of fructose, it would still have contained 2% glucose on a wet basis, but only 2/5=40% glucose on a dry basis.

    The "drying", hardening, or, more properly, curing of oils is the result of autoxidation, the addition of oxygen to an organic compound and the subsequent crosslinking. This process begins with an oxygen molecule (O 2 ) in the air inserting into carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds adjacent to one of the double bonds within the unsaturated fatty acid.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotropic_distillation

    In organic chemistry, some dehydration reactions are subject to unfavorable but fast equilibria. One example is the formation of dioxolanes from aldehydes: [9] RCHO + (CH 2 OH) 2 RCH(OCH 2) 2 + H 2 O. Such unfavorable reactions proceed when water is removed by azeotropic distillation.

  7. Food drying - Wikipedia
