As a final project, Karen
compared prices for food,
utilities, . shelter,
hospitalization, insurance
and minimum wages from
1969 to 1977. Her research
shows that though prices on
such items have tripled in
the past eight years, salaries
have only doubled. She adds
that most of the increase in
costs had been only in the
past year or two.
But her work in con

In charge" of the experiments

Dr. Thomas utilized an
industrial microwave oven

lower Eastern Shore, to dry
the com at five temperature
settings, ranging from 150 to

product was a slightly
roasted appearance of the
com dried at the upper end
of the temperature scale.
Microwave drying appeared
to have no detrimental effect
on the nutritional quality of
the com or its acceptability
when fed to broilers.
During feeding trials at
the College Park campus,
broilers fed com from the
microwave drying process
showed no significant dif
ference in growth rate from
broilers fed rations con
taining conventionally dned
com.
Although microwave
drying is not a practice that
is now economically com
petitive with conventional
practices, Thomas did note
some advantages for this
spin-off from radar
technology.
First, microwave can
speed up the drying process
by nearly four times the
normal rate. Secondly, com
exposed to microwave is
dried from the inside out.

diffusion rate of moisture to
remain high.
Since the microwave
process drives moisture
from the inside to the outside
regions of a com kernel,' it
would be logical to finish a
batch-drying job with
conventional drying
equipment, Thomas ex
plained.
He commented that there
is currently no commercial
source for microwave grain
drying equipment. And the
feasibility of its combination
with conventional drying
equipment needs further
study.
The Maryland researcher
offers one point for the
benefit of others who may
try microwave grain-drying
on an experimental basis.
That is to watch out for “hot
spots." He cautioned that the
“horns” comprising the
energy source in an in
dustrial microwave oven
must be positioned so that all
of the com being dried is
properly exposed.
