Micropropagation of banana (Musa paradisiaca Linn.) var Grand naine was carried out with media sterilized by microwave radiation. Microwave oven was effectively used to sterilize the media for in vitro shoot-multiplication of banana against autoclave. Sterilization of media in microwave oven was successfully achieved at 900W/200 ml media (4 min). In vitro shoot-multiplication was higher in the ...

In this paper, we proposed the evaluation method of the interference between the microwave oven noise and the signal of the IEEE802.11b by using the GTEM Cell. We used microwave oven noise, unintentional noise in time domain realized by combining signals from an AM(Amplitude Modulation) modulator and a FM (Frequency Modulation) modulator to evaluate the interference effects on IEEE802.11b. Fina...

The oxidation stability of extra virgin and refined olive oils produced in different countries were studied under different conditions of microwave heating (microwave oven Electrolux, 2450 MHz, 500 W) and conventional heating (200°C). Oils were heated in a microwave oven and in a conventional oven for 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes. The evaluated parameters were peroxide value, cont...

Editor, Reference to Microwave oven in microbiology laboratory, JPMA., 1992:42:2. In response to the queries by a microbiologist regarding the published paper we feel it would be appropriate to clarifr the facts. 1. Sterilization in microwaves works on a different principle than the conventional autoclave and sterilizadon is independent of temperature, just like the principle of sterilization b...

microwave energy has potential for the efficient heating of minerals. minerals or materials, which couple to microwave energy are called dielectrics and many valuable minerals are found to be dielectric. the mineral ilmenite is one which shows good dielectric heating characteristics. in this paper, the effect of microwave heat energy on the partial reduction of oxidized ilmenite oxidized in ...

Electromagnetic disturbances emitted from microwave ovens may cause serious interference with Bluetooth systems in the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance of Bluetooth systems interfered by microwave oven noises is analyzed using a microwave oven noise model which consists of FM periodic tone-bursts. Employing Bennett’s meth...

More and more saffron has been cultivated in China because of the increasing saffron demand, but no paper has studied the influence of drying methods on the quality of Chinese saffron. In this paper, three different dehydration treatments applied in actual production were evaluated: dehydration with electric oven, vacuum oven, and microwave. We determined that the highest quality of saffron wil...

According to WHO standard the RF leakage beyond +10 dBm are hazardous to human being. The microwave oven is a kitchen appliance which is used in day to day life. But, until 1967 an affordable and compact microwave oven was not readily available for domestic use. The obvious cooking advantages provided by the microwave oven ensured that its uptake would be rapid. It is extensive with up to 90 pe...

Microwave oven generates a harmful electromagnetic wave at 2.45GHz of 1000Watts. The generated microwave is confined within the cavity of the oven for efficient heating and secured operation. To prevent microwave leakage through the front glass door, a special construction of Faraday Cage is involved. In this paper, Faraday Cage is replaced with Transparent Frequency Selective Surface Front Doo...
