Abstract

This paper presents the dielectric properties characterization of the rice and rice weevil for microwave heating disinfestation treatment application. Infestations of insects in stored grain have become a major threat to food supply globally. It contributes to damage to the stored grain and had caused economic losses. The current method to control the infestation which is by using chemical fumigation could give harm to human health and cause environmental pollution. The ability of microwave energy to kill the insects using dielectric heating technique has a high potential as an alternative method to control the infestation of the insect. Knowledge of dielectric properties of the insects is important to understand the interactions of the insect with electromagnetic fields. Hence, this paper presents the evaluation of the dielectric constant, and dielectric loss factor, of the insects and grain using open- ended coaxial probe method. The dielectric properties of the rice weevil, S. Oryzae and rice are measured using an open-ended dielectric probe. Found that the dielectric constant, loss factor and loss tangent for both samples are inversely proportional to the frequency.  Knowledge of the moisture content and temperature of the insects and rice is very important to characterize the dielectric properties for future development of microwave heating disinfestation treatment effectively.

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of a microwave heating thermal distribution in the rice weevil disinfestation treatment. The sample of rice and rice weevil has been heated by microwave and the infrared thermal camera has been used to capture the heating distribution. The analysis of the rice and the rice weevil condition due to electromagnetic energy exposure is presented. There are three stages of the microwave heating has been taken in the analysis i.e. 10, 20, 30 seconds exposure period at 100W of energy.  Found that the treatment of rice weevil disinfestation using microwave energy is promising in the future, but needs a lot of improvement to be studied. The beauty of using microwave energy for rice weevil disinfestation is not only the rice weevil can be killed, but even its eggs or larvae inside the rice kernel will be killed before it hatches.
