Abstract High-moisture content of
grain (rice, corn, soybean, and red bean) can be measured by the microwave
moisture meter reported in this paper. The measurement results are obtained
by improving the construction of the microwave moisture meter for
high-moisture grain and by using the new method of considering both the
microwave attenuation and the density of the grain sample. The measured
maximum moisture content is 52% within the error of about ± 0.6% on a wet basis for red bean. |
