“…The results are similar to those reported by Aydin et al (2002) for Turkish mahaleb, by Aydin Aydin (2003) for almond nut and kernel, by Paksoy and Aydin (2004) for edible squash seed, and by Akinci et al (2004) for Juniperus drupacea fruits. The terminal velocities of the walnuts obtained in this study were higher than of the above mentioned agricultural materials.…”

Altuntas E., Erkol M. (2010): Physical properties of shelled and kernel walnuts as affected by the moisture content. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 547-556.The variations in physical properties such as the size dimensions, unit mass, sphericity, projected area, bulk density, true density, volume, coefficient of friction on various surfaces, and terminal velocity of shelled and kernel walnuts as a function of the moisture content were determined. With an increase in the moisture content, the sphericity, projected area, bulk density, volume, and porosity of shelled and kernel walnuts increased, whereas the true density linearly decreased. Studies on rewetted walnuts showed that the terminal velocity increased from 14.17 m/s to 15.50 m/s, and from 12.60 m/s to 14.35 m/s, for shelled and kernel walnuts, respectively. The static and dynamic coefficients of friction of shelled and kernel walnuts on chipboard and plywood surfaces also increased linearly with an increase in the moisture content.

“…Uptake of water has been widely reported to influence the textural properties of foods (Roos, 1995), particularly in nuts (ElMasry, Radwan, ElAmir, & ElGamal, 2009;Paksoy & Aydin, 2004;Visvanathan, Palanisamy, Gothandapani, & Sreenarayanan, 1996). Interestingly, harder particles are believed to be detected as larger than soft particles of the same size inside the mouth (Engelen et al, 2005).…”

Physical properties of seeds of 'Gina' and 'Leila' monogerm sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris var. altissima) varieties as a function of moisture content were evaluated. Physical properties of sugarbeet varieties such as unit seed mass, thousand-seed (1000-seed) mass, bulk density, true density, seed volume, angle of repose, and coefficient of friction on various surfaces were determined. The average unit seed mass and 1000-seed mass ranged from 0.0117 to 0.0133 g and from 10.77 to 12.00 g, as the moisture content increased from 8.55% to 17.14% (dry basis) for 'Gina'. The average unit seed mass and 1000-seed mass ranged from 0.0112 to 0.0121 g and from 12.07 to 13.70g, as the moisture content increased from 6.88% to 19.28% (dry basis) for 'Leila'. In the moisture content range, studies on re-wetted sugarbeet seeds showed that the seed volume increased from 0.0122 to 0.0147mm 3 , and from 0.0137 to 0.016mm 3 , for 'Gina' and 'Leila' sugarbeet seeds, respectively. The bulk densities decreased from 125.92 to 120.02 kg/m 3 and from 148.09 to 114.06kg/m 3 and true densities decreased from 916.70 to 827.39kg/m 3 and from 852.81 to 832.20kg/m 3 , for 'Gina' and 'Leila', respectively, whereas the angle of repose increased from 19.31°t o 21.27° and from 21.05° to 21.32°, for 'Gina' and 'Leila' respectively. The static and dynamic coefficients of friction on various surfaces, namely, plywood, mild steel, and galvanised metal also increased linearly with increasing moisture content. The plywood surface offered the maximum friction followed by mild metal and galvanised metal.
