Abstract
The use of a microwave instrument is described to monitor the solids ( water) content of concentrated milk during the manufacture of dried mi lk products. Its performance is demonstrated with several products. Th e instrument is based on the principle of measuring the microwave powe r passing through a sensor in contact with the product. The sensor and the microwave system are constructed in such a way as to enable high standards of hygiene through cleaning-in-place technology.
