Resumo
During storage, the bean drying is the process most commonly used to ensure quality and stability, reducing the biological activity and possible physical and chemical changes. Reducing the water content of the beans decreases the size of the grains and influences directly on its physical properties during the drying process. Thus, the correct determination of the physical properties is of fundamental importance in optimizing industrial processes, aerodynamic studies, design and sizing of equipment used in harvesting and post-harvest operations. The objective of this study was to measure in Creole beans forms, the grain sizes (sphericity and volume) and their densities, grown in mesoregion of North of Minas Gerais State, Brazil.
