At about 10 per cent level serious mould damage occurs and the product is more subject to attack of insect pests. For a rapid and accurate estimation of moisture content, an electronic moisture meter was developed on the principle of electric conductivity. The instrument is calibrated against standard air oven method. It can read moisture content from 5% to 40%. The instrument is handy and useful to copra processors.enArticle
