De-husking

A semi-automatic coconut de-husker developed at ICAR-CPCRI, Kasaragod, Kerala was tested for its performances for three sizes of West Coast Tall (WCT) coconut variety based on their circumference i.e. Large (50-55 cm), medium (45-50 cm) and small (40-45cm). De-husking capacity of large, medium and small size coconuts were observed as 193 nuts/h, 155 nuts/h and 94 nuts/h with de-husking efficiency of 98%, 97% and 35% respectively. There was significant difference in de-husking capacity of all three sizes of nuts.

A study on “Seasonal variation in quantitative parameters of coconut in major coconut growing districts of Andhra Pradesh” was conducted during 2010-2012. The study revealed that the coconuts of Andhra Pradesh had an average whole nut weigh (1145.31gm/nut), dehusked nut weight (454.10gm/nut), husk weight (686.76 gm/nut), shell weight (143.08gm/nut), water content (92.75 ml/nut) that were collected from three major coconut growing districts.

The existing models of coconut dehusking machines are pull type and suitable for right handed operators only. Therefore sitting models (pull and push type) suitable for both left handed and right handed operators were developed and the performance of newly developed both the models of coconut dehusker was tested on the basis of output capacity and dehusking efficiency. The tests were conducted at Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering, Dr. D. Y. Patil C.A.E.T, Talsande, Dist: Kolhapur (MS) in Sept.2016.

Genetic variability and correlation analysis of vegetative, floral, nut and yield characters were studied with 11 tall and 3 dwarfs which include 6 indigenous and 8 exotic coconut genotypes from diverse geographic origin. Analysis revealed a high degree of variability for most of the character studied.

Millets are in the family of cereals grown globally with differential importance across continents and within regions of the world. Cereals are staple foods for a large proportion of the world population. The present investigation was carried out to find out the effect of different retail packaging material on the shelf-life of dehusked foxtail millet. The foxtail millet was procured at local Raichur market. Physical properties of dehusked foxtail millet viz., particle density, bulk density, angle of repose, coefficient of internal friction...

Studies on engineering properties of variety JK 41 Kodo (Paspalum scrobiculatum L.) was conduct at 12 and 14 % moisture content wet basis (w.b). The average length, width, thickness, size and sphericity of Kodo millet at 12% moisture content (w.b) were 2.69 mm, 2.02 mm, 1.31 mm, 1.92 mm and 71.68 % respectively. However, the average values of length, width, thickness, size and sphericity of Kodo millet at 14% moisture content (w.b) were 2.80 mm, 2.39 mm, 1.39 mm, 2.09 mm, and 74.76% respectively.

There are many factors accounting for losses after rice harvest and occurs as as early as pre-harvest period and the next stage from harvesting to storage. the the appearance of cracks in the rice-harvest period reduces the yield. Grain can be damaged or lost quantity and quality due to inappropriate practice in the sun time, harvest, harvest, dam / mechanical drying, loading / unloading, transport, milling and processing storage conditions. Milling process is an important stage because it produces the final product (white rice). Post production lines of rice.
