Effect of moisture content on some of physical properties of two paddy grain Varieties (Domsiah & Rezajoo)
Abstract
Determination of physical properties of agricultural products is essential to analyzing their behavior during processing operations such as moving, peeling, cleaning, sorting, drying and storage. In this research, the effects of grain moisture content (at levels of 10, 14 and 18%) and kind of cultivars were investigated on the physical properties of two cultivars of rice paddy grain, namely Rezajoo and Domsiah. Based on the results, by increasing the moisture content, except for sphericity coefficient, other physical properties such as length, width, thickness, geometrical diameter, arithmetic diameter, surface, volume and the gravity properties such as bulk density, true density, porosity and 1000 grain mass increased while the kind of cultivar has not significant effect on these properties.
