Abstract
This paper presents dried leave usage for reducing the microwave power in order to adjust the suitable heat for ripening raw mangoes. In this study, the dried leave have been selected as a testing material, which can be easily found, low moisture and is suitable for covering the raw mango. For testing the characteristics of dried leave, a dielectric analyzer has been employed to test the value of dielectric constant of the dried leave at the same microwave frequency of the microwave oven at 2.4 GHz. It has been found that the tested leave is suitable for reducing the microwave power in the microwave oven. The studied results show that the use of dried leave with the raw mango before baking by the microwave oven for different power and time. It can be well known the suitable power and time for baking the raw mango by the microwave oven. The best result of this study is baking at the low power at 3 minutes. The comparison results for ripping the raw mango with covering the paper and non-covering the paper are closely the same.
