The physical and compression properties were analyzed for three kernel shapes of hybrid maize, Dika 517 Denghai 618, grown under the same agroecological conditions. average forces required to rupture kernels 618 150.35 ± 80.90 N 161.74 86.16 N, respectively, energies 134.25 50.77 mJ 137.78 58.35 mJ, respectively. Pyramidal rectangular shape exhibited largest force energy at thickness position, round have highest length. absorbed by increased with an loading rate. law cracking various surfaces differed different directions kernels. Practical applications mechanical maize are because their shapes. Understanding is important assess product quality, but also crucial effective design development equipment structures efficient sowing, harvesting, transporting, handling, processing.
