    • 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.
