Abstract

Information about the physical properties of bay laurel fruit is important for designing the equipment for processing, transportation, sorting, separation, and storing. To our knowledge, no research was undertaken in northern Morocco to study the dimensional or geometrical traits of Bay laurel fruit, hence, the present research aims to determine some physical properties of bay laurel fruit as a function of moisture content and harvest season. In this research work the dimensional properties (length, width, thickness, arithmetic, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, volume of the fruit, surface area, and projected area) were investigated depending on moisture. Also, sphericity, volume, and surface area were determined by using different theoretical equations and the results of different equations were compared.
