abstract
The effect of preprocessing conditions such as
moisture content, heating temperature, heating time and particle
size on oil point pressure of Indian almond kernel was investigated.
Results showed that oil point pressure was significantly (P < 0.05)
affected by above mentioned parameters. It was also observed that
oil point pressure reduced with increase in heating temperature and
heating time for both coarse and fine particles. Furthermore, an
increase in moisture content resulted in increased oil point pressure
for coarse particles while there was a reduction in oil point pressure
with increase in moisture content for fine particles.
