Some Physical Properties of Balanites Aegyptiaca Nuts

For the spheroidal nuts in the moisture range of 4·71-24·18% the one thousand nut mass, particle density, porosity, static coefficient of friction on different structural surfaces and angle of repose increased from 2·26 to 3·11 kg, 964 to 1052·01 kg m−3, 44·10% to 49·37%, 0·194 to 0·504 and 22·84° to 32·97°, respectively. The bulk density decreased from 546·90 to 532·66 kg m−3.
