PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ARECANUT SHEATH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 60
Abstract
Arecanut or Betelnut is the kernel obtained from the fruit of arecanut palm. It has some beneficial parts, such as husk, leaves and sheath, which can be used for different purpose. Among those parts arecanut sheath is extensively used for commercial plate making purpose and alternative animal fodder for cattle. But there was no study found which indicates physical properties of arecanut sheath. Hence, made an attempt to find out its physical properties such as size (L × W × T), shape, bulk density, sphericity, surface area, arithmetic mean diameter, geometric mean diameter and moisture content of dry and wet arecanut sheath and their mean values obtained were (812.24 × 280.21 × 3.92) mm, oblong, 0.76 g cc-1, 0.0124, 148795 mm2, 365.46 mm, 10.03 mm and moisture content of dry and wet sheath were 11.5 and 55.61 per cent respectively.
