Lychee juice has a higher dielectric loss difference for both frequencies followed by blackcurrant juice and glucose solution due to the contribution of free ions in the juice. The sensitivity of attenuation measurement using microstrip sensor is dependent on the dielectric loss of materials. The sensitivity of measurement about 0.002 dB/ (mg/ml) at 0.99 GHz and 0.004 dB/ (mg/ml) at 16.44 GHz which are comparable to the current microwave techniques.
