Investigations were carried out to find out the Physical properties of lotus blossoms at five levels of moisture content (7, 5, 12.5, 17.5, 22.5 and 27.5% wb). The moisture content of the procured seeds was 7.4% (wb). The physical properties (grain size, sphericity, thousand kernel weight and thousand, kernel volume) were calculated and found that grain size increased linearly whereas the sphericity first decreased upto 17.5%(wb) and then increased upto 21.5% (wb) with increase in moisture content. Bulk density and true density decreased with increase in moisture content. The porosity first decreased with increase in moisture content up tp 22.5%(wb) and then increased up to 27.5%(wb). Angle of repose increased, whereas crushing strength decreased, with increase in moisture content. The coefficient of friction first increased with increase in moisture content up to 17.5% (wb) then it decreases up to 27.5%(wb).
