Abstract

In postharvest farming, moisture content is important in determining the quality and controlling the cost of the coffee beans. However, meeting the right moisture level of the coffee bean is one of the common challenges in the coffee industry. Nonetheless, this study proposes a capacitance-based moisture measurement with quality and moisture corrector. The system is composed of electrical plates, microcontroller, built-in dryer and display. A software program was developed to determine the moisture content of the bean and classify it based on the set value of moisture content for high quality coffee bean. A built-in dryer is included to correct the moisture content of under dried coffee beans. The developed system is designed to be stand-alone and it prohibits human intervention unless during loading and unloading of the beans. Based on the results, the system can sort the beans according to moisture content and is able to measure the moisture content with 91.67% accuracy.

基于电容法的绿咖啡豆水分分选与校正

在收获后的种植中，水分含量对决定咖啡豆的质量和控制成本很重要。然而，满足咖啡豆的适当水分水平是咖啡行业的共同挑战之一。尽管如此，本研究提出了一种基于电容的质量和湿度校正器的湿度测量方法。该系统由电板、单片机、内置烘干机和显示器组成。开发了一个软件程序来确定咖啡豆的水分含量，并根据高品质咖啡豆的水分含量设定值对其进行分类。内置烘干机包括纠正干燥不足的咖啡豆的水分含量。开发的系统被设计为独立的，它禁止人工干预，除非在装载和卸载bean期间。根据测试结果，系统可以根据水分含量对豆子进行分选，水分含量的测量准确率为91.67%。
