    Physical properties of onion (Allium cepa var aggregatum L.) umbels namely size, shape, bulk density, particle density, angle of repose, frictional properties etc., were determined as a function of moisture content in the moisture range of 10.26 to 50.15% (db). These important physical properties of onion umbels are necessary for the design and development of machines for threshing, cleaning and handling operations of onion umbels. The average length, width and thickness of onion umbels varied from 49.66 to 50.24, 47.20 to 50.20 and 34.89 to 37.69 mm respectively. Average geometric mean diameter of the umbels varied from 43.01 to 46.03 mm while sphericity and mass of hundred umbels (M100) increased from 0.855 to 0.885 and 267.36 to 487.42 g as the moisture content increased in the above range. Bulk density and true density of onion umbels increased from 61.26 to 156.12 and 141.05 to 297.02 kg/m3 respectively for the above said increase in moisture content. Porosity and angle of repose of umbel increased linearly from 45.95 to 56.55% and 30.83 to 38.13° respectively with increase in moisture content from 10.26 to 50.15%. The coefficient of friction of onion umbels also increased linearly with increase in moisture content of umbels on different surfaces. From the investigation on the physical properties of onion umbels, viz. bulk density, true density, porosity, angle of repose, static coefficient of friction on various surfaces, viz. mild steel, rubber sheet, galvanised-iron sheets, aluminium sheets, cardboard sheets and stainless steel sheets increased linearly with increase in the moisture range between 10.26 to 50.15% (db)

    Not AvailableThe silicone membrane makes use of the ability of polymer to permit selective passage of gases at different rates according to their physical and chemical properties. The product stored maintains its own atmosphere by the combined effects of respiration process of the commodity and the diffusion rate through the membrane. The mean shelf-life of 80 days was observed when the tomatoes were stored at 5% CO2 under low temperature (10±2°C; 85% RH) whereas the mean shelf-life of 67 days was recorded at 5% CO2 under ambient condition (30±3°C; 60% RH). Among the interactions between the storage condition and varieties, the highest shelf-life of 88 days was observed in ‘PKM-1’ variety stored at low temperature and shelf-life of 71 days was observed at ambient condition at 5% CO2. The quality parameters were not affected by silicone membrane storage and was on par with the naturally ripened tomatoesNot Availabl

    ABSTRACT Physical properties of glory lily beans were evaluated as a function of moisture content. The average dimension of three principal axes (viz., length, width, and thickness), arithmetic mean and geometric mean diameter of glory lily bean were measured at a moisture content of 361.68 % (db), sphericity, 1000 bean weight, bulk density, particle density, porosity, angle of repose and co-efficient of friction were measured at moisture contents ranging from 361.68 to 9.77 % (db). It was found that the 1000 bean weight, bulk density, particle density and angle of repose increased linearly with increased moisture content. The porosity decreased linearly with increase in moisture content. The coefficient of friction on various surfaces increased with increase in moisture content. The coefficient of static friction was more on mild steel surface followed by galvanized iron and stainless steel

    Some important physical and thermal properties of coleus tubers were determined in the moisture range of 466.62 to 21.52% (d.b). Selected physical properties namely weight, size; bulk density, particle density and porosity increased with increase in moisture content. Thermal properties viz. specific heat and thermal conductivity increased with increase in moisture content while thermal diffusivity recorded a decreasing trend
