“…Technologies involving the adoption of microwaves to quantify the water content, require specific modeling for each species, and for accurate determination factors related to the product, such as moisture and size must be considered (RAHMAN et al, 2019;SHEN et al, 2020;SILVA et al, 2021). The adoption of a domestic microwave oven to determine the water content is already viable in studies developed by Nirmaan et al (2020) and Nunes-Zolini et al (2022). Thus, the study aimed to analyze the efficiency of using microwave oven to determine the water content in grains of peanut, sunflower, corn, soybean and wheat.…”

The determination of water content is essential for the maintenance of grain quality, and an evaluation of alternative methods for quantification allows to increase the efficiency of the process and bring benefits to the productive sector. The study aimed to analyze the efficiency of using microwave ovens to determine the water content in grains. The study was carried out in a completely randomized design in a 5 x 6 factorial scheme, with five species (peanut, sunflower, corn, soybean and wheat) and six microwave drying periods (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 min), with four replications. Data were subjected to descriptive analysis to characterize the samples, and regression analysis to analyze differences between methods as a function of drying time. The determination of water content in peanut, sunflower, corn, soybean and wheat grains in microwave is technically feasible, showing correlation with the determination in an oven by the standard method. The drying time in the microwave influences the water removal capacity of the grains. For peanut, sunflower, corn, soybean and wheat grains, the microwave drying time of 3 min showed greater similarity with the determination by the standard method.
