Abstract
Variations in the dielectric properties of foods with applied microwav e frequencies, and food composition, moisture content and temperature, were investigated. A series of equations to estimate the dielectric p roperties of a wide range of food materials was deduced from available experimental data and current understanding. The equations are suitab le for incorporating into a numerical model to predict the transient t emperature and moisture-content profiles within microwave-heated foods .
