Microwave technique for moisture content and pH determination during pre-harvest of mango cv. Chok Anan

The maturity of mango is usually assessed by the determination of its moisture content (m.c.), soluble solid content (SSC) and pH. However, these techniques are either time consuming, tedious or destructive. In this research, we extend the application of the open-ended coaxial probe technique to det...
