Abstract
Abstract: Some physical properties of groundnut pod and kernel of variety Devi (ICGV 91114), cultivated in major part of Odisha, have been investigated when their respective moisture contents were 7.98 % and 11.84 % on dry basis. The oil content of kernel was determined to be about 49.67 %. The results revealed that the average pod length, width, thickness and 1000-unit mass were 25.17, 11.67, 11.23 mm; and 799.87 g, while the corresponding values for kernel were 10.41, 6.93, 6.43 mm; and 297.65 g respectively. The sphericity of pod was 21.79 % less than the kernel and surface area was 71.56 % more than that of the kernel. Bulk densities of pod and kernels were 258.94 and 568.94 kg m-3, the corresponding true densities were 472.19 and 948.75 kg m-3 and corresponding porosities were 45.12 and 43.33 % respectively. The angle of repose of pod and kernel were 30.87 and 38.760 respectively. The coefficient of friction in case of pod was highest for GI sheet (0.45) followed by plywood (0.32) and least in case of plastic sheet (0.22). Information obtained through the experiments would not only be the useful data for engineer in designing planting and post-harvest equipment but also for food scientists, food processor and plant breeders.
