This paper presents sweetness degree (°Brix) prediction of the Malaysian oranges using microwave technique. Experimental measurement using monopole sensor and reflectometer was done in order to correlate the relationship between measured reflection coefficient, <em>S</em><sub>11</sub>  of the orange and its sweetness level. Up to fifty orange samples were freshly plucked from local grower’s farm and tested. The unique design of the monopole sensor’s holder is made of nylon. The experiment test bed was set up based on the standard dimension of monopole sensor available in the market. The operating frequency is focusing on 2.2 GHz as it shows significant sensitivity for determining Malaysian local oranges sweetness level.

ABSTRACTAs part of the research effort on investigating the effects of microwave energy absorption on the chemical and physical properties of minerals and ores, the Bureau of Mines, Tuscaloosa Research Center has developed a technique of measuring the dielectric constant and loss tangent of minerals at the common microwave heating frequencies. The objective was to establish a reliable data base to aid in predicting the effects of microwave heating on minerals.In this phase of microwave research, the Bureau measured the dielectric properties of powdered minerals with medium to high electrical conductivities (a ≥ 0.02 Mho/m) in the frequency range of 300 MHz to 3 GHz using an open-ended coaxial line probe connected to an HP 8753A network analyzer. Since the minerals were prepared as powders, techniques were used to relate the measured dielectric properties of the powdered minerals to the dielectric properties of the mineral at Its theoretical or natural density. Also, these measurements were performed as a function of temperature, from 25° to 325° C.The measured values of the dielectric constants and loss tangents using this method were accurate within ±5 percent. This report describes the method of measurement and discusses the results of the Bureau's investigations into dielectric properties of minerals.
