“…From the Table 2, it is observed that thousand seed weight of cotton seeds of all selected varieties are positively correlated while bulk density, true density and porosity are negatively correlated. Similar results were reported by Asadzadeh [19]; Ramesh et al [24] and Sutar et al [10]. Gravimetric parameters are important for theoretical calculations of minimum suction pressure required for seed picking by the pneumatic metering device and also for designing the size of seed hopper [17,27].…”

Aim: The aim of this investigation was to analyze the physical, gravimetric, frictional, aerodynamic, and mechanical characteristics of cotton seeds at three different moisture content levels, ranging from 8% to 14% on a dry basis to develop a power tiller-operated pneumatic planter. Study Design: Completely Randomized Design and Tukey pairwise test in done on the SAS On Demand for Academic platform was used for the study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering (FMPE), Department of Agricultural Processing and Food Engineering (APFE) and Department of Agricultural Structures Civil and Environmental Engineering (ASCEE), College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (CAET), Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), between July 2022 and August 2022. Methodology: This study was conducted to determine the engineering properties of cotton seeds namely BS–279, RCH–659 and KCHH–2739 as a function of moisture content. The different properties of these cotton seeds were studied in the engineering property laboratory and UTM laboratory of the CAET, OUAT, Bhubaneswar. The objective of this study was to investigate some moisture-dependent physical, gravimetric, frictional, aerodynamic, and mechanical properties of cotton seeds. The aim of this investigation was to analyze the physical, gravimetric, frictional, aerodynamic, and mechanical characteristics of cotton seeds at three different moisture content levels, ranging from 8% to 14% on a dry basis. These moisture content levels were referred to as M1 (8-10%), M2 (10-12%), and M3 (12-14%). Results: The geometric mean diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio, thousand seed weight, angle of repose and terminal velocity were found to be in the range of 5.05–6.57 mm, 60–67%, 0.51–0.59,78.70–103.67 g, 39.75–44.75˚ and 9.26–13.28 ms-1 respectively as moisture content of seed increased from 8 to 14% dry basis. The mean diameter, volume, porosity, terminal velocity and coefficient of friction showed a positive correlation with the moisture content. The bulk density, true density and porosity of seed decreased from initial range of 637.82–696.12 to 524.12–607.60 kgm-3, 1155.00–1266.12 to 868.28–1007.60 kgm-3 and 43.23–44.96 to 39.75–41.55% respectively with an increase in moisture content. Rupture force was found to be negatively correlated with moisture content and loading rate. Conclusion: The effect of moisture content on all dependent parameters was found to be significant (α=0.05) under Tukey pair wise test but these were non-significant for the varieties of cotton seeds considered under the study. These engineering properties can be considered while designing of planters and other sowing machinery, harvesters, ginning, and oil extraction machines of cotton seed.

“…Therefore, we used stainless steel 304 for manufacture vacuum seed plate. These results are in agreement with previous findings by (Ramesh et al, 2015). 1, it shows that, sphericity for white maize (SC-132), yellow maize (SC-176) and yellow maize (SC-178) were 63.68 %, 64.61 % and 69.05%, respectively.…”

“…The D eq and D ma parameters are useful in evaluating the size of the opening of the grading equipment for seeds moving in the air current of the turbulent zone [38], being the values of such parameters for NS of 4.327 ± 0.485 mm and 5.182 ± 0.510 mm, respectively. The S phe of the seeds is an important criterion to know the tendencies of the free ow of their mass in cleaning and other operations, and this represents their roundness, that is, the indirect expression in percentage terms of how close their shape is to that of the sphere [41]. In the case of the NS, the S phe was 47.655 ± 4.935%, which is in the range of values of 36.85 ± 1.80% for melon seeds [40] and 55.43 ± 0.53% for yellow passion fruit seeds [42].…”

A r depends on the shape, size and surface condition of the seeds [45] and is a very important parameter in the characterization of their ow/sliding properties, which is related to friction between seeds or resistance to movement between seeds [41]. A r (as degree) for NS was 31.995 ± 0.158 in comparison with 29.51 ± 0.18 for pomegranate seeds [46], 32.9 ± 1.1 for black Jatropha curcas seeds [44], and 32.38 ± 0.47 for watermelon seeds variety Red [43].…”

The noni juice industry produces a large volume of seeds as by-products, which contain proteins that can be recovered to be used as food ingredients. The aims of this study were the valorization of noni seeds as source of a protein concentrate (NSPC) and their physicochemical, functional, and structural characterization. NSPC was produced by alkaline extraction and isoelectric precipitation, obtaining a powder with a protein content of 76.59%, whose values of the color parameters were L* = 55. 32%, a* = 4.60%, and b* = 19.09. Water (WHCa) and oil (OHCa) holding capacities of the NSPC were 4.36 g H 2 O/g protein and 11.69 g oil/g protein, respectively, while the emulsifying activity, emulsion stability, foaming capacity, foaming stability, least gelling concentration, and in vitro digestibility were, 29.20%, 50.00%, 180.33%, 94.60%, 4.00%, and 78.51%. Glutelins (64.62%) were the main protein fraction of the NSPC.Hence, NSPC could be used as ingredient for human food products as bread, soups, salad dressings, mayonnaise, and processed meat products.
