The dependence of physical properties of soybean on moisture content was determined. In the moisture range 8.7 to 25.0% d.b., the length of grain increased from 6.32 to 6-75 mm, the width from 5.23 to 5.55 mm, the thickness from 3.99 to 4.45 mm, the geometric mean diameter from 5.09 to 5.51 mm, the sphericity from 0.806 to 0.816, the surface area from 0.813 to 0.952 cm(2), the volume of grain from 0.091 to 0.113 and thousand grain mass from 0.110 to 0.127 kg. Kernel density, decreased from 1216 to 1124 kg/m(3), bulk density from 735 to 708 kg/m(3) and porosity, from 0.40 to 0.37.
