Studies on electrical properties of wheat as a function of moisture content

Abstract Introduction Moisture content of cereal grains is one of the most important characteristics for determining quality of grains. Objectives The electrical properties of Indian wheat with moisture content range of 14.3% to 29.38% were characterized to develop a moisture prediction model. Methods A specially designed coaxial cylindrical cell was used for the purpose and electrical properties characterization system was used to carry out measurements of these properties. The studies were conducted for frequency range of 100 kH
