Optimisation of microwave system for rice treatment

Microwave heating has a potential to disinfest insect in rice grain. This method can be an alternative and a safe method to replace the current used of fumigant. Microwave leaves no chemical residue to hazard human health and safe for environment. A microwave system were developed using domestic...
