| The study was conducted to investigate some physical properties of celery seed at various moisture levels. The average length, width, thickness and 1000-seeds mass were 0.571, 0.429, 0.295 mm and 0.792 g, respectively, at moisture content of 5.24% (d.b). Length, width and thickness distributions of the seeds were modeled using Generalized Extreme Value, lognormal and Weibull distributions. Results showed that to model length of the seeds, lognormal distribution had the best performance while to model the width of the seeds Weibull distribution had the best performance. True density has increase from 892.02 to 931.42 kg/m3 when the moisture content increased from 5.24% to 20.25% (d.b). The angle of static friction increased from 28.45 to 39.66°, 25.15... |
