Abstract
The knowledge of geometrical properties such as shape and size is essential for the design of processing equipment. Some geometrical properties of sunflower seed, Azargol variety as a case study, was investigated at various moisture content levels (3-14% d.b.) in three categories of big, average and small sizes. The ranges of length, width and thickness were 13.31 – 15.97, 5.01 – 7.50 and 3.11 – 4.38 mm, respectively. Also, the ranges of arithmetic, geometric and equivalent diameter were 5.93 – 8.07, 7.15 – 9.29 and 6.04 – 8.26 mm, respectively. The sphericity and surface area of sunflower seed varied from 0.44 to 0.53 and 110.47 to 204.6 mm².
