Various physical properties of hemp seed were determined as a function of moisture content. As the moisture content increased from 8.62 to 20.88% dry basis (d.b.), the dimensions of the major, medium and minor axes varied from 3.79 to 4.11mm, 2.92 to 3.11mm and 2.47 to 2.82mm, respectively. In the same moisture range, studies on rewetted hemp seed showed that the sphericity, surface area and thousand...
