Comparative analysis of the physical properties of two varieties of periwinkle relevant to the design of processing equipment

The physical properties of agricultural products are essential in designing machines, equipment, and systems for efficient processing operations. Two periwinkle varieties, viz Tympanotonus fuscatus (Linnaeus, 1758) Pachymelania aurita O. F. Müller, 1774, were utilised this study to investigate determine their relevant the design equipment. geometric (axial dimensions, mean diameters, surface area, sphericity, aspect ratio) gravimetric (bulk true densities, mass, porosity) measured. averages major diameter, arithmetic geometrical area highest T. variety. In contrast, minor ratio P. average bulk porosity, weight higher than Tukey's pairwise comparison analysis carried out on all fuscatus, varieties shells revealed a statistically significant difference at P < 5%.
