English term (edited):
between 1 and 5% of total water
Selected
teneur en eau entre 1 à 5% du poids total
It seems to me that here the more usual sense of 'total water' wouldn't make a lot of sense, and it must have the alternative meaning of "X% of the total weight is made up of water"

Oh yes, indeed! But that doesn't seem to me to be the context here, where they seem to be talking about the proportions of the ingredients in a food product. It doesn't seem to me to make any sense at all to talk about a % of the 'total water' (i.e. 'free' + 'bound'), when everything else is talking about the other ingredients in terms of their % weight of the whole product.

Note from asker:
| Tony. Have you heard about "free water" and "bound water" in biophysics? |
