Meyer and schilz function to estimate common bean seed water content evaluated by radiofrequency

Abstract: Derivation of density-independent dielectric functions for moisture determination in grains is important for the implementation of on-line sensors in automated driers. The object of this study was to investigate the Meyer and Schilz function [(ε'-1)/ε"] for indirect and non-destructive water content measurement of seeds of common bean by radiofrequency, where ε' and ε" are the relative permittivity and the dielectric loss factor, respectively. Samples consisted of common bean seeds variety Campeão-3 at moistur… Show more

“…Moreover, it is impossible to directly dry and test the greasy seeds [10], and if the control of the heater is not well controlled, it is easy to damage the tissue of the seeds. Indirect methods include an electronic device of fast water content determination [11] and water content detection of radio frequency [12]. Although the test time of indirect methods is greatly shortened, it is not suitable for seeds with high viscosity.…”
