| description | A statistical trial was conducted to compare microwave oven and air-heated oven methods for moisture determination
of cocoa beans. The findings indicate that both methods are comparable in accuracy but better precision is obtained
by the air-heated oven method. The time requiredfor drying ofcocoa beans is about 30 minutes by the proposed method
as against 16 hours by the conventional technique. |
