“…This decrease indicates that there is a lesser increase in grain mass compared to increase in its volume with its moisture content increase. These results agree with the fi ndings of Suthar and Das (1996) with pumpkin seeds. Higher mass range of seeds, which is due to larger size of seed, also increases the volume resulting in decreased true density.…”

“…A similar relationship was reported by Shepherd and Bhardwaj (1986) and Dutta et al (1988) for pigeon pea and gram, respectively. However, Suthar and Das (1996) found that the bulk density increased linearly with grain moisture increase for karingada seeds. These discrepancies could be due to cell structure, volume and weight increase characteristics of grains and seeds.…”

“…True density of minor millets was found to be less than that of gram (Dutta et al 1988). Suthar and Das (1996) noted an increase in the true density from 1010 to 1134 kg/m 3 and 1047 to 1134 kg/m 3 for karingda kernel and cumin seed for the moisture range of 5-40% db and 7-22% db, respectively (Singh and Goswami 1996). Many researchers have reported the decrease in true density with moisture content increase (4-32.6% db) for karingda seed (Suthar and Das 1996), chick pea seeds (Konak et al 2002) and rapeseed (Calisir et al 2005).…”

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 samples were cleaned to remove the impurities and damaged and broken walnuts. The initial moisture contents of the walnut samples were determined by oven drying at 105 ± 1°C for 24 h (Suthar & Das 1996). The desired moisture contents of the shelled and kernel walnuts were obtained using the method recommended by Olaniyan and Oje (2002).…”

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.
