Moisture dependent physical properties of pigeon pea grains
Different important physical properties of pigeon pea grains (BDN–2) were determined at five different moisture content levels of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% dry basis (d.b.). With an increase of moisture content from 10 to 50% (d.b.), the average value of triaxial dimensions of pigeon pea such as length, width and thickness increased from 6.04 to 6.45, 5.40 to 5.72 and 4.61 to 4.79 mm, ...
