Modeling of Measured Physical Properties and Determination of Chemical Composition of Black Tamarind (Dialium Guineense) Seed
Agricultural Science and Food Processing | Volume 2, Issue 3: 123-132, 2025 | DOI: 10.62762/ASFP.2025.430476
Abstract
Modeling of physical properties and determination of the chemical composition of BTS were studied at 12.25% wet basis. Mass correlation with principal dimensions was modeled and evaluated using statistical parameters including chi-square ($\chi^2$), coefficient of determination (R$^2$), root mean square error (RMSE), and standard error (SE). Chemical properties were analyzed using standard techniques. Results showed mean values of seed mass, major, intermediate, and minor diameters of 0.18$\pm$0.02 g, 0.85$\pm$0.007 mm, 0.73$\pm$0.074 mm, and 0.38$\pm$0.046 mm, respectively. The seed was spherical (72.64%) with mean aspect ratio (1.17$\pm$0.124), ellipsoid ratio (2.27$\pm$0.31), and eccentri... More >
