Marking nut or 'SemecarpusAnacardium L.' also known as 'bibba' or 'bhilawa'. Marking nut has a double walled shell and cracking shells yields toxic resin (Bhilawan shell liquid) & enclosed dry kernel. Present study objective is to determine design parameters of marking nut & kernel for development of efficient marking nut deshelling machine. X-rays images of nuts by AGFA Image processing software of 100 marking nuts show tremendous variation in shape & size of nut & kernel. Sphericity, bulk density, thousand nut mass were found in range of 0.92 to 0.79, 572.22 to 528.48 kg/m3, 2015.40 to 3365 grams & corresponding values for Kernel 0.63 to 0.67, 540 to 478.62 Kg/m3, 232 to 410 grams. Average shell thickness was found to be 3.5mm. For marking nuts at 12% moisture (d.b) Hardness & deformation was found 87.64N & 3.20mm, at 9.63% moisture (d.b) 93.98N & 2.50mm, at 4.86% moisture 118N & 0.65mm, respectively. Rupture force for nuts by compression was found to be in range of 23.21 Kg to 37.34 Kg. Texture profile analysis of kernel was performed at 3.02% moisture (d.b) & Hardness was found to be 19.98N at cycle-1, 17.77N at cycle-2, this shows kernel is delicate then the nut & easily cracked at lower forces. Springiness & cohesiveness were determined and found to be 0.62 & 0.53, respectively.Keywords

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is very useful and important pharmacological fruit belongs to family Lythraceae. It is an important fruit crop of arid and semiarid regions of the world. The determination of engineering property of pomegranate fruit and arils is important for equipment design. Some physical properties like geometric mean diameter, sphericity, surface area, volume, bulk density, porosity, hardness, etc. were determined. The average length, width and thickness of pomegranate fruit are 65.9mm, 68.5mm and 67.1mm respectively. The geometric mean diameter, sphericity, surface area and volume are 64.39mm, 0.97, 13.02mm² and 138.82 cm³ respectively. Bulk density for pomegranate fruit and arils were 0.524 and 0.555 respectively. Some textural properties like hardness (N), Deformation (mm), % deformation at hardness and Springiness (mm) were calculated by using texture analyzer. The hardness of whole pomegranate compression test is 4.13N and the hardness of aril in TPA was cycle is i) 10.01 N and cycle ii) 8.77 N and in compression test hardness is 4.55N. Whereas Deformation of whole pomegranate in TPA and compression was 1.98 mm and 4.60 mm and Deformation of aril in TPA and compression was 1.98 mm and 2.00 mm respectively.Keywords
