1. A non-destructive method for continuously determining the water and fat content of a material with known curd content such as butter as it emerges from the manufacturing process comprising:

  • continuously measuring the dielectric constant of the material after it emerges from the manufacturing process,continuously measuring the density of the material after it emerges from the manufacturing process,continuously calculating the water and fat content of the material by comparing the measured dielectric constant, the measured density and the known curd content to calibration values determined from prior laboratory tests.
