| Abstract | ||||
| Mechanical Properties of fresh corn kernels were obtained for the two varieties, White Dent Corn Single Hybrid 10 and Yellow Dent Corn Single Hybrid 155 at different levels of moisture contents ranged from 30.26 to 9.88 (w.b.%). The kernels mechanical properties were obtained firstly related to single kernels included modulus of elasticity, maximum compressive stress, rupture energy, rigidity force, penetration force and moisture content. Secondly the mechanical properties of corn kernels in bulk were measured and included pressure-density relationships and stress strain behavior. Data were demonstrated in tables, graphically and regression equations were developed to describe the previous mechanical properties dependence on moisture contents for each variety. | ||||
