Physical properties of camellia oleifera heated by micro-wave

Abstract

For obtaining the target which separates the shell and seed of camellia oleifera rapidly and easily, the article studies physical properties of camellia oleifera while heated by micro-wave. In the practice, water content of shell of camellia oleifera sample A is about 76%, water content of sample A camellia oleifera seeds is about 55%. One hundred camellia oleifera fruits are selected, the quality distribution is obtained. From the test, camellia oleifera shell of specific heat capacity is between 2.81∼3.41 J/g.°C, camellia oleifera seed of specific heat capacity is between 2.11∼2.61J/g.°C. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
