Determination of Moisture Content

Determination of Moisture Content

Drying: moisture measurement at the end of drying is essential to follow up drying course and to decide whether it is achieved or not. On one hand, too long a drying course may have bad consequences for quality and food safety because of unexpected fermentations and mould growth. On the other hand, the next step in the process is storage. Also, drying to a too low moisture content can result in...

Rapid Determination of the Moisture Content of Soils.

Soil Moisture Content

The assessment of soil moisture content and surface roughness from remotely sensed data is of primary importance for improving agricultural techniques of conservation farming such as yield forecasts, scheduling irrigations, fertilization. SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) remotely sensed data may provide a powerful tool for indirectly retrieving these agricultural surface parameters over large are...

Determination of Soil Moisture Content at Bukit Bunuh Meteorite Impacted Area using Resistivity Method and Laboratory Test

Determination of soil moisture content is of vital importance to many fields of study; civil engineering, hydrology, agriculture, geology, ecology and forestry. The occurrence of impact crater in Bukit Bunuh, a meteorite impacted area, made it an area of great interest to many researchers. In view of the process of impact cratering, the subsurface soil characteristics such as moisture content o...

Determination of Moisture Content of Bagasse of Jaggery Unit Using Microwave Oven

In jaggery making furnaces, sugarcane bagasse is used as fuel. Moisture content of bagasse affects its calorific value. So burning of bagasse at suitable level of moisture is essential from the viewpoint of furnace performance. Moisture content can also be used for indirect calculation of fibre content in sugarcane. Normally gravimetric method is used for moisture content determination, which i...
