Fwd: Soil Moisture Meters suitable for use in dried fruit?

I am involved in a design project where we are drying fruits(like
apples) and we need to know the moisture content of the shredded fruit
throughtout the drying process.  I was wondering if a soil moisture
meter would work for this application or if anyone knew of something
that would work.
 Thanks.

I will be interested to hear of other users' replies to this, as it
may well be possible that some of the simpler ready-to-use sensors could
be put to this use.
However, there are two more suitable products listed on my new website under the categories
Moisture Content : hay
Moisture Content : grain/seed

Environmental Sensors Inc. (ESI) supplies the GroáPointú which is
designed for just this function.

Measure Instruments:
MI-7 - Moisture analyser with interchangeable sensors and programmable.
SH-7 - Moisture, temperature and weight sensor for grains, powders, granules and triturated product.
SH-6 - Moisture sensor for bales of hay cubes, silopack, soils, cotton cubes and grains.
SH-5 - Moisture sensor for hay row, woods, paper, cheeses, granules and powders.
SH-3 - Moisture and temperature sensor for soils and grounds.
ST-2 - Temperature sensor for soils, liquids, hay cubes and grains.

Admittedly these are unusual requirements (from a soil point of view:),
and there are not many suppliers yet listed on these pages...
