| Sumario: | The determination of moisture content in glycerol infused intermediate moisture beef was studied. The results obtained in this work confirmed that usual gravimetric procedures (oven or vacuum oven) for determinating moisture content may give erroneous results because of evaporation of glycerol, the magnitude of the error depending on the operating conditions. A low‐temperature oven drying procedure is proposed, which allows the gravimetric determination of moisture content in glycerol‐containing intermediate moisture beef.
