Density-independent moisture calibration function (ψ) for unshelled pod peanuts (ψ p ) and for shelled peanut kernels (ψ k ) at 8 GHz and 24°C.
Source publication
The importance of moisture measurement in grain and seed is discussed, and a brief history of the development of electrical moisture sensing instruments, based on sensing the electrical properties of these materials, is presented. Data are presented graphically on the permittivities or dielectric properties of grain and seed, showing their variatio...

... measurements on unshelled peanuts (pod peanuts) and shelled peanuts (peanut kernels) have demon- strated that the moisture content of the peanut kernels, which is required, in practice, can be determined from rapid measurements on the unshelled peanuts (pod peanuts) ). The density-independent moisture calibration function (eq. 3) was determined separately for unshelled and shelled peanuts, as shown in figure 8, where separate lines of nearly the same slope are shown for the unshelled peanuts (pod peanuts) of moisture content M p and the shelled kernels of moisture content M k . ...
