Meat Shrinkage Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Meat Shrinkage Calculator.
MSC = WW / WM * 100
MSC = WW / WM * 100
Variables:
- MSC is the Meat Shrinkage (%)
- WW is the total weight of waste (g)
- WM is the total weight of the meat product (g)
To calculate the meat shrinkage, divide the total weight of waste by the weight of the product, then multiply by 100.
How to Calculate Meat Shrinkage?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Meat Shrinkage.
- First, determine the total weight of waste (g).
- Next, determine the total weight of the meat product (g).
- Next, gather the formula from above = MSC = WW / WM * 100.
- Finally, calculate the Meat Shrinkage.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total weight of waste (g) = 100
total weight of the meat product (g) = 200
MSC = WW / WM * 100 = ?
