Example 2: A food product is made from soybean meal (50% protein, 10% moisture) and corn flour (10% protein, 12 moisture). The soybean meal and corn flour are blended together in a 2:1 ratio (weight basis). Through the manufacturing process, there is a loss of water from the system. The objective is to make 120 kg/h of the final product with a protein content of 40%. i) Calculate the amounts of soybean meal and corn flour that must be used. i) Calculate the moisture content of the final product.
