Where:
Conc. WSV

= Convert factor of % Purity
to mass fraction (g/g)
TS
= % Total solid = 100-%moisture = Factor for dry weight basis or anhydrous form

= Convert factor of % Total solid to mass fraction (g/g)
1000000

= Convert factor for standard
Pantothenic acid:
1 mg Calcium pantothenate = 0.92 g Pantothenic acid, Then F = 0.92
Pyridoxine:
