Physicochemical properties of acha (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua spp) grains
Some physicochemical properties of two varieties of acha (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) were studied. Physical properties including kernel size, 1000-kernel weight, and water absorption rate of the grains were determined. Water absorption reached a maximum after steeping for 25 hours. The starch content exhibited a two-stage pattern of swelling and solubility properties similar to other ...

Characterization of grain-filling patterns in diverse maize germplasm
Information regarding genotypic variability for maize (Zea mays L.) grain-filling patterns is scarce, especially at the inbred level. We characterized a large set of public and elite proprietary inbred lines for kernel growth traits. Lines were selected to sample divergent kernel size, genetic diversity, and lines released from breeding programs. The traits characterized were final kernel weight ...

Peanut Crusher Machine in Kenya
Recently, we have sold two sets of peanut crusher machines to a customer in Kenya. This type of machine is designed to cut various beans and nuts (like peanuts, almonds, chestnuts, walnuts, Macadamia nuts and hazelnuts kernels) into granular sizes or powder. The final products of the peanut crusher machine are in high demand in the food processing industry. To meet specific demand of customers, ...

Modelling the palm kernel oil extraction process in a hot-water medium
The physical process was modelled to create understanding and better assess the performance of a palm kernel oil extraction system. Mathematical models were developed to describe the extraction of palm kernel oil in hot-water from the comminuted particles. The models developed included parameters such as particle size, moisture content and charge ratio, all as a function of time. Experimental ...
