| heal.abstract |
A low-cost microwave moisture meter made with off-the-shelf components was developed, calibrated and tested in the laboratory and in the field for the grading of peanuts. The meter allows rapid and nondestructive determination of kernel moisture content from measurements on unshelled peanut pods. The meter operates at a frequency of 5.8 GHz and uses the principle of free-space transmission measurement of the dielectric properties. Moisture content is determined independent of bulk density with a permittivity-based algorithm. Besides kernel moisture content, the meter provides simultaneously, from the same set of dielectric measurements, the bulk density and moisture content of the peanut pods. |
