physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa grind as affected by particle size and moisture content

physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa (medicago sativa, l.) grind are required for optimum design of equipment used in transporting, processing and storage of the material. this study was conducted to determine the effect of particle size (2.38, 3.36 and 4.76 mm) and moisture content (8, 9.3 and 11% wb) on some physical and mechanical properties of alfalfa grind. these properties includ...

Improving the rheological properties of 18% wheat flour as affected by transglutaminase enzyme

Enzymes are useful to modify wheat proteins to preserve the gas better and to correct the rheological properties of the dough of weak flour and bread. Gluten proteins are highly impacting the quality of various gluten-based products, and transglutaminases (TGs) leading to the strengthening, stability and constancy of the dough as well as the improvement of the volume, texture and storage time o...

terminal velocity of chopped corn silage and its separate fractions as affected by moisture content

knowledge of the aerodynamic properties of agricultural materials is needed in equip-ment design for operations such as pneumatic conveying in loading/unloading operations of corn silage into/from silos. while considerable information is available on seed grains, little is known about the aerodynamic behavior of corn (zea mays l.) silage. in this re-search, the weighed mean terminal velocity of...
