The most accurate measurements for food products were obtained when the heat source was a radiant heater with a radiation wavelength of 7.21 μm, a trueness deviation of 0.01%. When heated with radiation with wavelengths (from 3.32 μm to 7.21 μm), the trueness of the measurement ranged (0.03% ÷0.13%) for chemical products. The shortest analysis time for food products was found when the analysis was carried out using an IR source with a wavelength of 7.21 μm, while for chemical products, a heat source with a wavelength of 2.70÷7.21 μm was optimal. According to the results of the analysis, the use of IR radiation with a wavelength range of 3.32÷7.21 μm is an alternative for accurate measurements.}, type={Article}, title={Accuracy of drying selected products using a moisture analyzer method based on infrared radiation}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/128218/PDF/art07_internet.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mms.2023.144873}, keywords={moisture analyser, infrared heating, food quality, mass measurements}, }
