“…Physical properties for raw minor millets were investigated in the simulated moisture content range of 11.1-25% (db), since harvesting, transportation, storage and dehulling operations of minor millets are performed in this range. Grain samples of desired moisture content levels were prepared by adding calculated amount of distilled water in accordance with the following equation (Sacilink et al 2002) and mixed thoroughly.…”

Physical properties including 1000 kernel weight, bulk density, true density, porosity, angle of repose, coeffi cient of static friction, coeffi cient of internal friction and grain hardness were determined for foxtail millet, little millet, kodo millet, common millet, barnyard millet and fi nger millet in the moisture content range of 11.1 to 25% db. Thousand kernel weight increased from 2.3 to 6.1 g and angle of repose increased from 25.0 to 38.2 o . Bulk density decreased from 868.1 to 477.1 kg/m 3 and true density from 1988.7 to 884.4 kg/m 3 for all minor millets when observed in the moisture range of 11.1 to 25%. Porosity decreased from 63.7 to 32.5%. Coeffi cient of static friction of minor millets against mild steel surface increased from 0.253 to 0.728 and coeffi cient of internal friction was in the range of 1.217 and 1.964 in the moisture range studied. Grain hardness decreased from 30.7 to 12.4 for all minor millets when moisture content was increased from 11.1 to 25% db.

“…The true density of the shelled and kernel walnuts was determined by the toluene (C 7 H 8 ) displacement method (Mohsenin 1970;Sitkei 1976;Sacilik et al 2003). Bulk density was determined using the standard test weight procedure (Singh & Goswami 1996).…”

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.
