Some engineering properties of peanut (<i>Arachis hypogaea</i>) as relevant to agricultural processing

Abstract

In this study, selected engineering properties (shape, size, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, colour, seed mass, volume, particle density, bulk density, porosity, surface area, angle of repose, and compressive strength) of three improved varieties of peanut; SAMNUT 10, SAMNUT 11, and SAMNUT 22 of both the whole seed and the kernel were determined at moisture contents of 7.26%,
