“…Many studies determine the dielectric properties of food materials in RF and microwave frequency ranges, including vegetables, fruits, meat, pasta, and others (Bircan & Barringer, 2002;Guan, Cheng, Wang, & Tang, 2004;Nelson, 1992;Sipahioglu & Barringer, 2003;Tinga & Nelson, 1973;Tong & Lentz, 1993;Tran & Stuchly, 1987;Wang, Wig, Tang, & Hallberg, 2003). However, there is a lack of systematic studies on the dielectric properties of whole eggs and egg whites at RF from 27 to 1800 MHz over temperatures from 20 to 120 C. Knowledge of dielectric properties is important to the research of RF and microwave heating in applications for pasteurization and sterilization of egg products.…”
