2015, Bjarne Stigsby, Spis dig fra diabetes, Politikens Forlag, →ISBN:Hvis man tager vandet væk, bliver tørstoffet (fedt og protein) tilbage. “+” mærkningen angiver den andel af fedt, der er i tørstoffet. I en ost mærket “45+” udgør fedtet altså 45 % af tørstoffet.- If one takes away the water, the dry matter (fat and protein) remains. The “+” denotes the share of fat in the dry matter. Thus, in a cheese marked as “45+”, fat constitues 45 % of the dry matter.
1958, Tidsskrift för planteavl:Den samlede mængde af den del af tørstoffet, som ikke er stivelse, angives i mange tilfælde at være så konstant, at stivelsesprocenten kan bestemmes ved subtraktion af denne konstant fra tørstofprocenten.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
