Mechanical properties: The lowest values ofrepose angle for seeds were on fiber glass followed by galvani=ed sheet, plywood, rubber and the highest on perforated sheet (20.86°, 34.81°. 48.86', 55.63° and 62.46') respectively. Tensile strength betweenfibers and seeds was 0.0986N.

The main results in this study can be summari=ed asfollows:

Physical properties of Sodom apple seeds fruits: length= 5.19 - 6.98 mm.

width = 3.16 - 5. 87mm. thickness = 0.38 - 0.70 mm. geometric

diameter= 1.99 - 2.82 mm, arithmetic diameter= 3.21- 3. 77mm. flat

surface area = 7.07- 9.84 mm

• transverse surface area = 2.89­

3 5.06mm2
• volume 4.12 - 11.68 mm • mass of1000 seeds = 5.84 - 7.05 g,
bulk density = 200.97 kg/m3
, real density = 929.50 kg/m3
and moisture
content= 8.43 % w.b.
Mechanical properties: The lowest values ofrepose angle for seeds were
on fiber glass followed by galvani=ed sheet, plywood, rubber and the
highest on perforated sheet (20.86°, 34.81°. 48.86', 55.63° and 62.46')
respectively. Tensile strength betweenfibers and seeds was 0.0986N.
