ABSTRACT
The present paper discusses the comparative dielectric constant and dielectric loss of black pepper and white pepper within frequency range 10 kHz and 10 MHz and temperature between 300C to 510C. Impedance gain/phase analyser (HP 4194 A) was used to measure the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss and Julabo (temperature controller, F-25, Germany) was used for keeping the temperature of black pepper and white pepper seeds constant. It has been found that dielectric constant and loss is decreasing with the increase in frequency while the same are increasing with increase in temperature and moisture content.
