Abstract
A microwave dielectric method was used for nondestructive and instantaneous determination of moisture content in shelled and unshelled peanuts from measurement of their relative complex permittivities in free space at 6.0 GHz and 23C. Moisture content was determined independent of bulk density with the use of a density-independent calibration function. Statistical analysis provided the moisture calibration equations for each type with high coefficient of determination. The effectiveness of this method was further shown with the provision of a single moisture calibration equation for various types in shelled and unshelled peanut samples. Therefore, by using microwave moisture sensing, moisture content can be accurately predicted in different peanut types with a single calibration equation.
