Flow-specific physical properties of coconut flours
TL;DR: In this paper, the flow-specific physical properties of coconut flours at three moisture levels were investigated. And the results of this study will be helpful in designing handling, flow, and processing systems for coconut milk residue and virgin coconut oil cake flours.
Journal ArticleDOI
