“…Previous researches reported linear increasing trends with increasing moisture content in angle of repose for some seeds, grains and fruits (Dursun and Dursun 2005;Coşkuner and Karababa 2007a;Sessiz et al 2007). Our results are similar to those reported for bambara groundnuts, cocoa beans, coriander seeds and barnyard millet grains and kernels (Baryeh 2001;Bart-Plange and Baryeh 2003;Coşkuner and Karababa 2007b;Singh et al 2010).…”

The present study was conducted to evaluate some physical properties of sun dried Berberis fruit as a function of moisture content, varying from 9.59% to 27.90% (w.b.). Dried fruit length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter and sphericity, increased nonlinearly from 7.19 to 7.53 mm; 3.42 to 4.03 mm; 2.78 to 3.02 mm; 4.05 to 4.51 mm and 0.56 to 0.62, respectively with increased moisture content. When we tested 1000-dried fruits, their mass increased linearly from 3.10 to 4.89 g, the true and bulk density increased nonlinearly from 769 to 845 kg m −3 and 389 to 395 kg m −3 , respectively; with increased moisture content. Also, porosity values of dried fruits increased nonlinearly from 49.40% to 53.30%. The lowest static coefficient of friction was found on the steel surface. The angle of repose increased nonlinearly from 20.14°to 23.20°with the increasing in the moisture content.

“…The effect of the moisture content on the shelled and kernel walnuts volumes was significant (P < 0.05). The relationships between the moisture content (M c ) and the volumes of the shelled (V s ) and kernel (V k ) walnuts were described by following equations: Similar incremental trends have been reported by Özarslan (2002) for cotton seed; by Sahoo and Srivastava (2002) for okra seed, and by Sessiz et al (2007) for caper.…”

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.

“…This means that CSHT S require lesser space per unit mass and will encourage easier aeration and water vapour diffusion during drying than other varieties. Similar results were observed for apricot kernel, cape fruits, two varieties of corn (Sc 704 and 370) and cowpea (IAR 339-1) by Fathollahzadeh et al (2008), Sessiz et al (2007), Seifi and Alimardani (2010) and Davies and Zibokere (2011), respectively. True density and bulk density of individual varieties studied had a positive linear correlation against moisture content showing a cordial relationship between the parameters.…”

Ehiem J.C., Ndirika V.I.O., Onwuka U.N. (2016): Effect of moisture content on some physical properties of Canarium schweinfurthii Engl. fruits. Res. Agr. Eng., 62: 162-169.The effect of moisture content on some physical properties of three varieties of Canarium schweinfurthii Engl. fruits (small, large and long) was studied at 40.91%, 34.92%, 23.44%, 18.5% and 11.03% moisture content on wet basis in order to solve problems associated with designing and development of processing and handling equipment for these fruits. The physical parameters investigated were major, intermediate, minor diameters, geometric mean diameter, unit mass, volume, sphericity, density, bulk density, roundness, aspect ratio, porosity, surface and specific surface area. The results obtained showed that the physical parameters decreased linearly with a decrease in moisture content. Major diameter and true density of all the fruit varieties were not affected significantly (P < 0.05) by moisture content. Canarium schweinfurthii Engl. fruits are not round but spherical and oblong, hence, they can rather roll than slide. Among the studied varieties, small Canarium schweinfurthii Engl. is less bulky, has the highest specific surface area and is more porous.
