5 процентов красителя от общей массы масла

Russian to English Other Nutrition
Коллеги, добрый вечер!

Пропорции, которыми я обычно пользуюсь — это 5 процентов красителя от массы масла для всех цветов, кроме белого.

К концу недели что-то не могу сообразить, как в данной ситуации правильно расставить предлоги: 5 percent of (?) the colouring of the total mass?

Спасибо большое.

Поскольку речь идет о массовых процентах, то можно написать:
a 5 wt% dye (coloring) solution in oil

the coloring is 5% of the total mass of the oil

If you translate this phrase very literally, it will not be clear in English. So here I took the meaning as I understood from this bit of text, and formulated it fresh in English.

So the sentence would read "The amount of coloring I usually use is 5% of the total mass of the oil, for all colors except white."

Another possible phrase would be "to apply coloring at 5 percent of the oil's total mass."

Thank you so much for such a great piece of advice, Scott.

a 5% mass fraction of the dye (coloring agent) in oil

Proposition.
Colouring agents are classified in two main groups: colorants (or dyes) and pigments. Colorants are soluble (in water or in oil) synthetic organic colouring agents.

In a mixture, the mass fraction is the amount of mass of one substance, divided by the mass of the total mixture. The sum of all the mass fractions is equal to 1. Mass fraction can also be expressed, with a denominator of 100, as percentage by mass.
