“…There are several applications reported that used the microwave technique to sense grain MC, such as a microwave microstrip ring resonator for single wheat grain (Abegaonkar et al, 1999) as well as a prototype moisture meter using a microwave transceiver (Kim et al, 2002), multi-layer microstrip moisture sensor (Jafari et al, 2010) and cylindrical slot antennas for rice grain quality . Besides, microwave technique was also applied in MC determination for oil palm fruit (You et al, 2010a), soybean (Shrestha et al, 2014), tuber (Zainuddin et al, 2013), clay granule (Mextorf et al, 2012), latex (Ansarudin et al, 2012;Mohammadi et al, 2012) and mortar (Jusoh et al, 2011).…”
