Abstract
Understanding the physical properties of agricultural products is essential for optimizing their handling, processing, and storage methods. This study compared the physical characteristics of paddy rice and soybeans, emphasizing their implications for post-harvest management. Key findings indicate that paddy rice grains have greater sphericity, lower circularity, and a higher surface-to-volume ratio than soybeans. In addition, paddy rice has a smaller volume compared to soybeans, which affects its handling dynamics. The static angle of repose for paddy rice was significantly higher, suggesting improved stability during storage. Furthermore, density measurements showed that paddy rice has a density of approximately 1547 kg/m³, while soybeans measured around 1479 kg/m³. Both products exhibited similar porosity values, with paddy rice at 40.50% and soybeans at 39.0%.
