Özet

In this study, the physical properties of gilaburu (Viburnum opulus L.) seed have been investigated. The average length, width, thickness and geometric mean diameter values in 54% of moisture content of gilaburu seed were between 6.56 and 8.44 mm, 6.24 and 8.57 mm, 1.62 and 2.52 mm, 4.19 and 5.31 mm, respectively. Sphericity, surface area, thousand seed mass and terminal velocity values in the same moisture content increased from 0.59 to 0,68, from 55.22 to 88.65 mm(2), from 75.00 to 78.30 kg, from 4.52 to 5.15 m s(-1); the bulk density, true density, porosity and angle of repose values changed between 524.82 and 546 81 kg m(-3), 981.45 and 1046.15 kg m(-3), % 45.46 and 50.14%, 22.60 degrees and 26.78 degrees, respectively. The physical properties of gilaburu seed are necessary for the design of equipments for planting, harvesting, seperating,transporting, storage and other processing.
