Considering microwaves as a viable alternative for the pasteurization of In-shell eggs, preliminary trials performed had conflrmed that microwave at 2450MHz can be successfully used to raise the temperature of in-shell eggs to the required pasteurization temperatures in a few minutes. Based on these trials a flnite difierence time domain (FDTD) model was developed using C language and MATLAB to simulate the E fleld and power distribution in lossy dielectric media like that of the egg components (egg white and yolk) taking into consideration the complex shape, dielectric properties and heterogeneous composition of the in-shell egg. This can be used to assist in the design and development of an industrial microwave in- shell eggs pasteurization unit.
