ABSTRACT
The study on the determination ofsome selected
physical and chemical (functional) properties of Dika seed (Irvingiu
gahoiicnsis) to reduce drudgery in the processing of Dika seed (Jrvingia
"uboiH'iisis) and it was carried out by using standard procedures. These
properties were evaluated al a moisture content of24.3% (dB). The major,
intermediate and minor diameter were found to be 3.23mm. 1.80mm and 0.52mm
respectiv ely. the arithmetic mean diameter, geometric mean diameter square
mean diameter. EMI) and sphericity of Dika (Jrvingia gahonensix) seed are
0.0069mm. 0.121mm. 1.7981mm. 0.1563mm. 3.2497mm respectively. The true density,
bulk density and aspect ratio of the seed were 0,98g/mm3, 4.60g/mnT and
56.1353mm respectively. The anele of repose for phywood, glass and metal sheet
are 55°, 33° and 32° respectively while their corresponding static friction are
0.38. 0.67, and 0.77 respectively. The volume, surface area, one hundred weight
of seed were 156.17mm3, 4.7500mm2, 0.6249g respectively. The oil and water
absorption capacity of unmiled are 7.00g and 3.00g respectively while, the
milled oil and water absorption capacity are 7.20g, and 3.40 respectively. The
absorbance and transmittance of unmilled are 0.422ml and 1.153ml respectively,
while the absorbance and transmittance of milled are 0.646ml and 1.327ml
respectively. The solubility index of unmilled and milled are 1.057mm and
1.097mm respectively. The unmilled and milled Dika (Jrvingia gabonensix) seed
have gelation temperature and lime as 60°C and jOminutes respectively. The
information gotten will therefore and in the processing (milling, packing and
storing) each varieties.
