Seed moisture content is significant in the handling, storage and processing of seeds. This study was
carried out to determine the physical properties of green gram seeds as function of seed moisture content
in the moisture range of 6-24% dry basis (d.b). The average length, width, thickness, geometric mean
diameter, thousand grain mass, angle of repose and water activity increase as the moisture content
increased from 6 to 24% (d.b) and the sphericity was found to decrease from 0.928 to 0.625. Also bulk
density was found to decrease from 1096 to 913.34 kg m-3
, whereas true density decreased from 1369.5
to 1237 kg m-3
, while the porosity was found to increase from 18.09 to 30.73%. The static co-efficient of
friction of green gram increased against various surfaces such as, wood, glass, GI sheet and mild steel
sheet, as the moisture content increased from 6 to 24% (db.).
