Effect of Moisture Content and Loading Orientation on Mechanical Properties of Bush Mango (Irvingia gabonensis) Nut CIGR Journal
AVIARA, NDUBISI A.; Iyilade, Idowu J.; Oyeniyi, Samuel K.; Aremu, Ademola K..
The use of inappropriate equipment to crack bush mango nut and obtain the kernel has adversely affected the efficiency of its processing operations. The manual method, which involves cracking the nut with stone or pestle and mortar, is not only slow and risky, but also wasteful. In order to develop appropriate processing equipment for the nut, knowledge of its mechanical properties is necessary. This study was undertaken to determine some strength properties of the nut at different moisture contents under lateral and longitudinal loading orientations, using Universal Testing Machine (UTM). In the moisture range of 7.52% - 20.6% (d.b) under both lateral and longitudinal loading orientations, results of tests showed that all the strength properties (bioyield...

Elasticity of cocoyam cormel as influenced by moisture content and loading orientation CIGR Journal
Raji, Abdulganiy Olayinka; Oyefeso, Babatunde Olayinka.
Cocoyam, Xanthosoma sagittifolium, is one of the major staple food items in Nigeria. The crop is recently gaining attention and there is urgent need to intensify research efforts towards fully exploiting its promising potentials. Information on the elastic properties of the cocoyam cormels are necessary for understanding of their behaviour under loading and in the design of equipment for proper handling of the cormels during processing and storage. This study investigated the elasticity of cocoyam cormels as affected by moisture content and orientation of loading. White-fleshed and pink-fleshed varieties of the X. sagittifolium cormels were used for this study. The elastic properties of the cormels along the three mutually-perpendicular axes were...
