To measure temperature in microwave heating condition by thermocouple or thermistor is limited. In order to overcome this problem kinetics of ascorbic acid destruction was introduced. Activation energy for destruction of ascorbic acid was obtained under conventional heating condition. Arrehnius equation was used for prediction of rate constant under microwave vacuum heating condition. Then prediction of temperature could be obtained by using kinetic of ascorbic acid destruction that is calulated by the predicted rate constant.
