Studies on Physical Properties and Chemical Make-Up of Hybrid and Native Varieties of Flaxseeds.

Abstract

The present work reports the physical properties and chemical make-up of two flaxseeds cultivars NL-115 (hybrid) and LM-001 (native) of Indian origin. The flaxseeds cultivars exhibited variations in dimensions include length, width, thickness and diameter increase linearly with increase in moisture content. The retention of moisture by the seeds depends on their chemical constituents.The geometric properties increased as the moisture content increased. The bulk density, rupture force, deformation and energy absorbed decreased linearly while true density, porosity, thousand seed mass, angle of repose and static coefficient of friction increased linearly with increasing moisture content. The dimensional parameters such as length, width and thickness varied from 4.74 to 4.79 mm, 2.41 to 2.47 mm, and 0.98 to 1.10 mm, respectively. While, bulk density, true density, porosity and thousand kernel weight found to vary in the range of 630.03 to 640.66 kg/m 3 , 866.50to 868.50 kg/m 3 , 26.23to 27.29% and 7.56to 6.59 g, respectively.

The Peculiarities of Seeds and the Quality of the Green Mass of Some Non-Traditional Crops in the Republic of Moldova

“…Data on seeds parameters of studied botanical family are presented in other publications (Bhat et al 2018;Cagatay Selvi et al 2006;Coşkuner and Karababa, 2007;Elleuch et al 2007;Gautam et al 2016;Kaliniewicz et al 2015;Rakhmetova, 2006, 2011;Togo et al 2018; Tunde-Akintunde and Akintunde, 2004; Uteush,1990).…”

“…The analysis of the situation in the given field of research demonstrates that it is possible, under the soilclimatic conditions of the Republic of Moldova, to make full use of the potential of a number of non-traditional plants from the families Amaranthaceae, Brassicaceae, Linaceae, Pedaliaceae, Polygonaceae, which are studied to a lesser extent by the international scientific community (Abbasi et al, 2018; Alekksha Kudos, Chandan, 2018;Amorim et al, 2019;Biel et al, 2017;Bhat et al, 2018;Das, 2016;Elleuch et al, 2007;Gautam et al, 2016;Herrmann et al, 2016;Kshnikatkina et al, 2005;Kukusheva and Stepanov, 2016;Mursec et al, 2009;Peiretti, 2018;Póti et al, 2014;Rahnama, Safaeie, 2017;Rakhmetov, 2011Rakhmetov, , 2018Rakhmetov and Rakhmetova, 2006;2011;Rakhmetov et al, 2004;Seppälä, 2013;Słomka and Wójcik Oliveira, 2021;Ustak et al, 2011;Uteush, 1990;Von Cossel, 2019) and the one from the Republic of Moldova (Chisnicean et al, 2011;Teleuţă and Ţîţei, 2016;Teleuță et al, 2008;Țîței, 2015, 2020Țîței and Roșca, 2021;Teleuţă and Ţîţei, 2016).…”
