“…Statistically significant variation for sphericity among the AK of different MC was observed ( p < 0.05). Similar trends of results have been reported for jamun seed (Bajpai et al, 2020), psyllium seeds (Hashemifesharaki, 2020), barley (Sologubik et al, 2013). The knowledge sphericity variation with MC is important especially for designing conveyers, graders, sorters, dryers for handling AK of different MC.…”

“…Increased dimensions with increase in MC were the main reason for increase in surface area. Similar relationship findings have been reported for kariya kernel (Adeyanju et al, 2021), psyllium seeds (Hashemifesharaki, 2020), deenanath grass seeds (Singh et al, 2022), quinoa seeds (Jan et al, 2019). Mean projected area for AK was increased from 91.99 to 114.95 mm 2 with increase in MC.…”

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) kernels, the innermost part of the economical stone fruit, are utilized for edible purposes, extraction of oil, and many pharmaceutical products.Biological materials are complex in structure and get affected by their moisture content. This study investigates the effect of different moisture content from 5.66% to 26.47% wet basis apricot kernels on its various engineering characteristics and develops their correlations. The engineering characteristics such as linear dimension length (13.26-14.47 mm), breadth (8.69-9.97 mm), thickness (5.36-6.50 mm), arithmetic mean diameter (9.11-10.32 mm), geometric mean diameter (8.48-9.77 mm), surface area (227.91-302.68 mm 2 ), projected area (91.99-114.95 mm 2 ), 1000 kernel mass (0.317-0.403 kg), true density (881.23-973.55 kg m À3 ), and porosity (33.74%-43.68%) increased linearly with moisture content. On the other hand, bulk density (548.23-583.89 kg m À3 ) and elongation ratio (2.25-2.51) showed a decreasing trend with an increase in moisture content. The frictional properties such as angle of repose

“…Analyzing these properties would help researchers in analyzing the seed products' behavior, gaining a better understanding of these products' potential applications in biofuel production, pharmaceutical formulation, storage stability, and optimization of process conditions (Sundaramahalingam et al, 2021). The seeds' physical and thermal properties are significantly influenced by their moisture content (mc) (Hashemifesharaki, 2021). Its impact on physical characteristics, including the density, size, and shape, can affect how handling, storing, dehulling, and quality preservation are managed during processing.…”

“…The mechanism of heat transfers during roasting, drying, or other thermal attributes can also be influenced by mc. Therefore, compared to dry seed, an oilseed with a higher mc requires more energy to heat or cool (Hashemifesharaki, 2021). Researchers have extensively studied the thermal and physical properties of various seeds and kernels, such as soursop seed and kernel (Oloyede et al, 2015(Oloyede et al, , 2017, Australian chia seed (Timilsena et al, 2017), white mustard seed (Ropelewska et al, 2018), camelina seed (Ropelewska & Jankowski, 2019), African star apple (Onwe et al, 2020), paddy and wheat seed (Jadhav et al, 2020), arugula seed (Mirzable et al, 2021), maize seed (Hernández et al, 2023), and wild banana seed powder (Meghwal et al, 2024).…”

Sweetsop seed holds significant economic value as an oil seed, with ca. 25% oil content that finds applications as a feedstock for energy generation. The moisture‐modulated thermophysical properties of the seed were determined at varying moisture contents (8.0%–32.5%). Physical properties (length [L], width [W], thickness [T], arithmetic [Amd], and geometric mean diameters [Gmd], sphericity [Sty], surface area [SA], and bulk density [ρd]) were determined using standard methods while the thermal properties (specific heat capacity [SHC], thermal conductivity [Tcd], and thermal diffusivity [Tdf]) were analyzed using a TEMPOS thermal analyzer. The results showed that the seed L, W, T, Amd, and Gmd, Sty, SA, and ρd ranged from 13.22–14.95 mm, 7.32–7.95 mm, 5.25–5.35 mm, 8.60–8.75 mm, and 7.96–8.11 mm, 0.61–0.60, 196.72–205.28 mm2, and 210.00–270.00 kg m−3, respectively. The SHC, Tcd, and Tdf ranged from 0.14–0.52 J kg−1 K−1, 0.17–0.35 W m−1 K−1, and 0.10–0.20 m2 s−1, respectively. The ANOVA results indicated that the thermo‐physical properties studied were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) affected by moisture content. By utilizing the determined properties, engineers can develop efficient machines to harness the economic potential of sweetsop seed oil in various industries, including biofuel generation.Practical applicationsThe thermal and physical properties of sweetsop seed are needed by agricultural and mechanical engineers and food scientists to explore the potential application of the seed and the seed product, like oil for industrial and commercial purposes. Data obtained on the specific heat capacity of the seed would be valuable in designing of heating compartment of an oil expeller, thermal conductivity and diffusivity would be needed to design drying systems that balance efficiency and quality preservation, facilitate efficient removal of moisture from the seed while minimizing the risk of over‐drying or under‐drying. Thus, affects the design of the seed storage systems. Data on the seed axial dimensions, sphericity, mean diameters, surface area, and bulk density would be useful in the design and fabrication of agricultural equipment like sheller, grinder, packaging machines, discharge chute, aperture, and planter, to ensure proper seed placement, flow and to determine machine throughput capacity.
