The information concerning the moisture content is useful to determine the time required for the drying process [76]. Knowledge of the size and shape are useful when designing the separator, harvester, sorting device and grinding machines [76]. Further, the shape can be defined in terms of the sphericity and aspect ratio which can have an impact on the material flow characteristic in the machine [76]. The properties such as porosity and surface area affect the resistance to airflow over the bulk material bed during the drying process [76]. Furthermore, the bulk density, true density and 1000 unit mass are useful in determining the size of the storage bins required and the structural loads [76]. Further, the information concerning the fraction of each part of the fruit gives an overall idea of the composition of the kernels and shells which affects the oil yield of the product
