Highlights Published literature on grain kernel damage during handling is reviewed. Types
and sources of grain kernel damage are discussed. Factors affecting the level of grain kernel …

The damage resistance of grain kernels to external loading is useful for optimizing
agricultural equipment design and adjusting operational settings. This study aims to quantify …

Studying the breakage behavior of corn kernels subjected to repeated compressive events,
including at low frequency and low strain rate, are important for the development of …

Corn kernels have a high susceptibility to mechanical damage due to their large size and
mass. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the cushion box and …

The study aimed to determine the extent of the percentage of mechanical damage (seed
breakage) to chickpea seeds due to the impact caused by free fall. Three independent …

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the cushion box and closed let‐
down ladder usage in minimizing mechanical damage to corn kernels during free fall …

The influence on wheat grain quality indices of the preliminary threshing machine
parameters of combine harvester header was investigated. The value of the trauma and the …

It is urgent to study the damage mechanism of corn kernels and find ways of reducing the
rate of kernel breakage in mechanical threshing. This paper, by studying the mechanical …

Almonds can be classified based on their shell characteristics from soft to hard shell
varieties. The majority of Australian and Californian varieties have soft shell properties. Most …
