During the design phase of microwave heating solutions for prepackaged foods, wireless sensors may be integrated to evaluate the temperature and pressure inside of the packaging in real time, ensuring long-term microbiological safety and limiting postprocess recontamination. While this approach is a reliable alternative to traditional retort processing (where packaged food is sterilized inside hermetically sealed containers), the geometry and placement of the sensor may influence the electromagnetic power dissipation within the microwave cavity.
