The study was aimed to determine engineering properties of food grains which play an important role in the design of functional componenets of pedal-operated flour mill. The crops namely rice, pigeon pea, wheat, sorghum, and maize were selected for the study. Pedal operated flour mill comonents were designed and developed based on the variation of the engineering properties viz., size, shape, aspect ratio, volume, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, bulk density, true density, density, porosity, weight of 1000 grains, angle of repose, static coefficient of friction and hardness. These properties were determined and considered for the design of functional components viz., design of hopper, selection of drive mechanism, design of supporting frame, selection of grinding stones, power transmission, processing unit, safety, and ergonomics for easy and effective operation were made. The engineering properties are of great importance towards proper design, efficient process and equipment development. The developed pedal-operated flour mill is suitable for grinding almost all cereals and pulses to produce Rawa, Flour (Atta), and Dhal for human consumption and also for producing poultry/fish feed by grinding agro by-products and wastes.

The B. flabellifer L. has untapped potential in sustainable development and its products have many high food and medicinal values. Palmyraculture is defined as the plantation and utilization of Palmyra palm for self-reliance and sustainable development. The endosperm/embryo of germinated seeds is an important biomaterial, also known as haustorium. This paper provides comprehensive insights into the molecules of the haustorium, especially those of pharmaceutical and nutritional interests, and briefly explores other applications of haustoria. The discussions of seed germination, and consequently, the haustorium development have made their way in 21st-century research. With further advancements in chemical analytic techniques and the growing realization of diverse uses of nearly every part of the plant, more attention has been attracted to the phytochemical composition of the parts, including the haustorium. The recent research on the haustorium examines haustoria molecules, their respective functions and uses, and their interactions with external factors. During the period when the haustorium converts complex nutrients in the endosperm into simple forms for the growing embryo, it is composed of varying essential sugars, amino acids, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds, macro, and micronutrients, all of which are highly beneficial for human health. It also possesses glycosides, flavonoids, phenols, and saponins, which contribute to its medicinal properties of acting against hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, obesity, as anti-allergic, anticancer, and anti-neoplastic agents, and for fighting against oxidative stress. The most recent study on the haustorium highlights how its extracts serve as an efficient antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functional food. Future studies of the Palmyra palm haustorium could offer potential applications; emphasizing the pharmaceutical, nutritional, and ethnobotanical significance.

Knowledge about physicomechanical and aerodynamic properties is indispensable for any crop that undergoes post-harvest processing; coffee is no exception. These properties are the most crucial parameters for designing and developing processing machinery and storage structure. As far as coffee is concerned, these properties are imperative for designing dryers, hullers, peeler-cum-polisher and size graders. Though coffee is one of the leading plantation crops in India, published reports on physical, mechanical and aerodynamic properties are rather limited. In this direction, a study was attempted to generate data in respect of physical (length, width, thickness, volume, surface area, thousand seed weight, bulk density, true density and porosity), mechanical (angle of repose and co-efficient of friction) and aerodynamic (terminal velocity) property in different coffee types (parchment, cherry and clean coffees of both Arabica and Robusta varieties). At the prescribed moisture content of 11 per cent, the length, width, thickness, volume and surface area were significantly higher (p=0.05) in cherry coffee, followed by parchment and clean coffees. The porosity, bulk density and true density were found in the order of 45 to 58 per cent, 395 to 466 kg m-3 and 856 to 944 kg m-3 for cherry, 56 to 57 per cent, 400 to 410 kg m-3, 950 to 966 kg m-3 for parchment and 37.5 to 44 per cent, 691 to 780 kg m-3 and 1,106 to 1,401 kg m-3 for clean coffee, respectively. There were no significant differences between coffee types in respect of angle of repose, co-efficient of friction and terminal velocity. The data generated under this study can be harnessed while configuring or improving the coffee processing machinery and helps achieve the final product with desirable quality characteristics.
