}Abstract.ThephysicalpropertiesofthreecommonIranianvarieties of melon seeds have been evaluated as a function of seedmoisturecontentvaryingfrom4.75to47.6,from5.02to46.81,andfrom 4.55 to 45.22% (w.b.) for Ghermez, Kolaleh and Sarakhsi,respectively. Increasing moisture content was found to increaseaxial dimensions, surface area, emptying angle of repose, bulk andtrue density, sphericity, geometric and arithmetic mean diameters,and static friction coefficient on five structural surfaces…
