Abstract This paper presents the results of a study on the dielectric characteristics of commercially available bread dough and yeast under various conditions. An open-ended coaxial line is used as an in-situ sensor for the measurements. These results may lead to the development of more efficient microwave systems and sensors for household and industrial baking. Key
