Influence of Moisture Content on Physical Properties of Little Millet
2015
Ganesan, S. | Varadharaju, N.
The physical properties of the little millet grain were found out using various methods. The geometric mean diameter, sphericity, grain surface area, 1000 grain mass, true density (toluene displacement method), terminal velocity, dynamic angle of repose, coefficient of internal friction, coefficient of static friction at different surfaces mild steel and cast iron surfaces), hardness of the grain increased with an increase of moisture content from 11.11% to 16.28% moisture content dry basis. However bulk density decreased with an increase in moisture content. True density (toluene displacement method) was found to reduce for all experimental moisture range indicating the presence of void space inside the grain and kernel.
