Some physical properties of lentil seeds
Scopus
Toplam 209 atıf DOI
Several physical properties of lentil seed were evaluated as a function of moisture content. The average diameter, thickness, unit mass and volume of seed were 6·64 mm, 2·65 mm, 0·070 g and 49·08 mm3 respectively at 6·5% m.c.d.b. Studies on rewetted seed showed that as moisture content increased from 6·5 to 32·6% d.b., bulk density decreased from 1190 to 935 kg/m3, porosity increased from 27·4 to 32·0%, projected area increased from 56 to 82 mm2 and terminal velocity increased from 10·95 to 12·06 m/s. The static and dynamic coefficients of friction of lentil seed against galvanized sheet metal, plywood and rubber surfaces increased with moisture content in the range from 6·5 to 32·6% d.b. The largest coefficient of friction was against a rubber surface, ranging from 0·374 to 0·532. The effect of moisture content was as great as or greater than the difference between the surfaces. © 1996 Silsoe Research Institute.

This study aimed to evaluate the physicomechanical and chemical characteristics of two goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) cultivars—‘Damaye and NQ1’—grown under Turkish conditions. We analyzed a comprehensive set of parameters, including fruit dimensions, geometric properties, moisture content, total sugar, crude protein, crude cellulose, ash content, pH, total antioxidant capacity (via DPPH assay and IC5₀ values), and mineral composition (via ICP-MS). Results revealed notable differences between the two cultivars in terms of size, weight, sugar content, and antioxidant activity. ‘Damaye’ exhibited higher total sugar and crude cellulose contents, along with stronger antioxidant capacity (lower IC5₀ value), whereas ‘NQ1’ was characterized by higher fruit firmness, ash, and protein content. Both cultivars presented valuable nutritional and functional profiles, suggesting their potential for health-promoting applications and suitability for cultivation in diverse environments. This study contributes to the limited data on goji berry cultivation outside its native range and supports its inclusion in alternative fruit production systems.
