Abstract

In this review, we present a description of conventional technologies and new advances for the estimation and sense of moisture content in grains. The operating principles, accuracies and response times are described. The review considers an exhaustive search of scientific developments and patent registrations. It was concluded that most of the new developments correspond to methods of which the measurement principles are based on the analysis of the electrical characteristics of the grains. In addition, new methods of image analysis have been implemented that provide measurements with reduced response times and with precisions of utility for its application in the agro-industrial field. In addition to this, wireless communication technologies have been implemented that allow the implementation of moisture measurement methods in moving grains within processing chains.
