tailieunhanh - Effect of moisture content on physical properties of soybean

The study was conducted to investigate some physical properties of soybean at various moisture levels. The dependence of physical properties of soybean on moisture content was determined. In the moisture range from (wb).The soaked soybean size increased linearly in length ( - mm), width ( mm), and thickness ( - mm) according to final moisture content. In this study, length, width and thickness models based on moisture content are defined as linear models and the regression coefficients (R2 ) related to these models are found between , and respectively. Arithmetic Mean Diameter ( - mm), Geometric Mean Diameter ( - ), Square Mean Diameter ( mm), Equivalent Diameter ( - mm) are computed from the average values of three principal dimensions. In the current study, it was determined that unit volume ( mm3 ), surface area ( mm2 ), 1000 grain weight () and angle of repose ( ) increases as the moisture content of soaked soybean increases. As the moisture content of the soaked soybean increases, the value of sphericity, aspect ratio, bulk density, true density and porosity decreased. | Original Research Article https Effect of Moisture Content on Physical Properties of Soybean Avinash Kakade Smita Khodke Suhas Jadhav Madhuri Gajabe and Nilza Othzes Department of Agricultural Process Engineering College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology .

Soybean is recognized for its value in enhancing and protecting health. Soybean has a tremendous potential to be transformed into a number of traditional local foods. Different products can be prepared from soybean such as soymilk and soy-paneer dairy analogs soy flour soy bakery products soynuts physical properties of soybean are important to design the equipments and machines for sorting separation transportation processing and storage. Designing of such equipments and machines without taking these into considerations may yield poor results. For this reason the determination and considerations of these properties become an important role. The major moisture-dependent physical properties of biological materials are shape size mass bulk -density true-density porosity and static coefficient of friction against various surfaces. The study was conducted to investigate some physical properties of soybean at various moisture levels. The dependence of physical properties of soybean on moisture content was determined. In the moisture range from wb .The soaked soybean size increased linearly in length - mm width mm and thickness - mm according to final moisture content.
