Physical properties of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) grains during convective drying

Abstract: Buckwheat is a prominent crop in present-day agriculture due to its nutraceutical properties; however, information on this crop regarding the post-harvest process is scarce, as well as the characterization of its physical properties and such information is essential for the development and improvement of machinery used in post-harvest processes. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the volumetric shrinkage, porosity, bulk density and true density of buckwheat grains throughout the drying process,… Show more

“…Test weight is related to the true density and packing efficiency of the seeds [ 36 ]. Amaranth appears to have a higher true density compared to quinoa or buckwheat [ 37 , 38 , 39 ], while the small size of the amaranth seeds might attribute to a better packing efficiency.…”

“…Conforme disposto na Tabela 2, para ambos os índices de contração volumétrica, da massa e unitária, verificou-se que todos os modelos matemáticos apresentaram magnitudes de coeficiente de determinação (R 2 ) superiores a 0,98, erro médio relativo (P) abaixo de 1,7% e valores reduzidos de desvio padrão da estimativa (SE <0,017). De acordo com critérios adotados por outros pesquisadores, um modelo é considerado aceitável quando esse apresenta coeficiente de determinação superior a 0,98, desvio padrão da estimativa próximo a zero e erro médio relativo inferior a 10%; o erro médio relativo expressa o desvio dos dados experimentais em relação à curva estimada pelo modelo (CORRÊA et al, 2011;MARTINS et al, 2017a;MENDES et al, 2016;OLIVEIRA et al, 2014;QUEQUETO et al, 2018).…”

“…Para Li et al (2019) e Quequeto et al (2018), decréscimos nos espaços vazios intergranular, como os verificados neste trabalho (Figura 7), podem resultar em maior resistência oferecida à passagem de ar pela massa do produto, afetando o comportamento, uniformidade e a eficiência de operações de secagem ou aeração. Resultados semelhantes aos do presente estudo (Figuras 5 e 7) foram encontrados para V. mungo L. (THEERTHA et al, 2014), onde verificaram-se menores magnitudes de massa específica real e porosidade intergranular e maiores valores de massa específica aparente nos menores teores de água das sementes.…”

“…Although there was no statistical difference in the apparent specific mass of corn grains, caused by drying, it was possible to observe a trend of increase in the values after drying. This behavior occurs due to the reduction in moisture content and, consequently, in the volume, so the grains are more easily arranged inside the container, increasing the values of apparent specific mass (Quequeto et al, 2018). This phenomenon is similar for most agricultural products studied (Firouzi et al, 2009;Payman et al, 2011;Jesus et al, 2013;Theertha et al, 2014).…”
