| Most agricultural materials undergo various forms of preservation in order to enhance shelf life. Sheanut is usually preserved by heating the kernels over fire in a pot for a time period. This affects its properties especially during heat processing. It is expected that this work will provide information that would help optimize such processing. Preserved sheanut kernel samples sourced locally were prepared by manually cleaning, sorting, grinding and sieving to obtain desired particle sizes. The specific heat of the samples were evaluated as a function of particle size (2.36 mm), (1.18 mm and 1.00 mm), moisture content (initial moisture content, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% db) and temperature (50oC, 60oC, 70oC, 80oC, and 90oC). The specific heat of each particle... |

| Oil point pressure of sheanut kernel was determined under different pre-processing conditions of moisture content, heating temperature, heating time and particle size. Results show that the pressure decreased as moisture content increased from 4% to 6%, and thereafter, increased with further increase in moisture content. It equally decreased with increase in temperature and heating time. Highest oil point pressure value was 2.6389MPa for coarse kernel particles at 4% moisture content heated at 50oC for 5 min, and 1.5554MPa for fine particles at 10% moisture content heated at 50°C for 5 min. Lowest value for coarse and fine kernel particles was 0.929MPa and 0.6380MPa respectively and this was obtained at the conditions of 6% moisture content, 100oC and 15... |
