How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the weight of a single mango in kilograms (e.g., 0.5 kg for a medium-sized mango)
- Specify the number of mangoes you are drying
- Input the moisture content percentage of fresh mangoes (typically around 70-80% for ripe mangoes)
- The drying efficiency (typically 90-97% for efficient drying methods)
- Optional: Enter the current market price per kilogram to estimate the total value
- Click the "Calculate" button to get the results
Understanding the Results
The calculator provides three key results:
- Individual Mango Dried Weight: The estimated weight of a single dried mango
- Total Dried Weight: The total weight of all dried mangoes based on your input
- Estimated Value: The total monetary value of the dried mangoes (if price per kg is provided)
Practical Applications
This calculator is useful for:
- Farmers planning to sell dried mangoes to estimate potential income
- Food processing businesses calculating production yields
- Homemakers preserving mangoes for future use
- Entrepreneurs evaluating the feasibility of mango drying business
Important Notes
The calculator uses the formula: Dried Weight = (Fresh Weight × (1 - Moisture Content / 100)) × Drying Efficiency / 100. This assumes standard drying conditions and does not account for variations in mango varieties, drying methods, or environmental factors.
