Physical parameters of adzuki bean [Vigna angularis (Willd.) Ohwi & Ohashi] genotypes

Abstract

The basic purpose of the study was to assess the physical parameters of the three genotypes of adzuki bean viz. EC-340264, HPU-51, and Local Totru. The length of the seeds varied from 6.00 to 8.10 mm. Whereas, the width of the seeds varied from the 4.40 to 6.00 mm. Similiarly, the 1000 kernel weight of the adzuki bean seeds varied from the 50.01 to 115.07 g/1000 seeds. True density of the seeds varied from the 1.01 to 1.62 g/ml. The study of the physical parameters can be helpful for the engineers and food processers in developing new structures for storage and processing.
