SENSING MOISTURE CONTENT AND QUALITY OF GRAIN AND OTHER AGRICLTRL PRODUCTS BY DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES

Objective

To identify relationships between dielectric properties of agricultural products and their important quality characteristics and to develop sound scientific principles for measuring these characteristics through interaction of radio-frequency and microwave electromagnetic fields with the products. Emphasis will be placed on development of improved technology for reliable, accurate moisture sensing in cereal grains and their products applicable to on-line measurement and monitoring of moisture content.
