Study of biophysical properties of mung bean (Vigna Radiata) seed

It order to reduce losses and maintain the quality of agricultural products during harvest and postharvestoperation and designing certain processing machinery, having sufficient knowledge about mechanicaland physical characteristics of products is necessary. This study examined some physical and gravitycharacteristics including volume, mass density, real density, porosity, slip angle and repose, measuring moisture,mean geometric dimensions, sphericity, resiliency factor and shape factor for green mung bean (Vigna Radiate)in which mean arithmetic diameter and geometric dimensions were ۴.۵۴±۰.۵۴ and ۴.۴۴±۰.۵۳, respectively. Meanof sphericity was %۷۶.۲۴. In this study, resiliency factor was ۰.۶۳±۰.۰۶ and shape factor was ۴۲.۵۷±۱.۴. Volumemeasurement was conducted by liquid displacement method and mass density and real density and porosity were۰.۹۱, ۱.۳۴, ۰.۰۴, respectively and repose and slip angles estimated as ۰.۰۴۸ and ۰.۰۹۷.
