چکیده
Some physical properties of musk lime (Citrus microcarpa) were determined in this study. The average moisture content (wet basis) of the fruit was found to be 85.10 (±0.72) %. The mean of length, width and thickness of the fruit was 26.36 (±0.97), 26.40 (±1.04) and 25.26 (±0.94) mm respectively. The average value for geometric mean diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio, mass, surface area, volume, true density, bulk density and porosity was 26.00 (±0.82) mm, 98.67 (±2.04) %, 100.23 (±3.28) %, 10.007 (±0.878) g, 2125.07 (±133.93) mm2, 8800.00 (±731.82) mm3, 1002.87 (±39.16) kgm-3, 501.70 (±22.58) kgm-3 and 49.89 (±3.15) % respectively. The coefficient of static friction on four types of structural surface was found to be varying from 0.238 (±0.025) for glass to 0.247 (±0.024) for steel surface. Keywords—Musk lime, Citrus microcarpa, physical properties.

The aims of this work were principally two-fold: first, to show that cyclic voltammetry is a simple, cheap and practical method for determining antioxidants in citrus fruit juices; second, to evaluate vitamin C in four species of citrus fruits. Two are known world wide, the lemon, Citrus limon (L.) Burm.f., and the lime, Citrus aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle, and two are principally but not e...
