Abstract

Garlic, a globally cherished spice from the Allium Sativum L. family, holds immense importance in Indian agriculture as the second-largest producer worldwide. With India contributing 10.4% to the global garlic production, totaling 3.27 million metric tons in 2022, the physical properties of garlic become integral in engineering design. This research navigates through experiments on garlic clove bulk density, considering moisture levels, and explores the mechanical aspects affecting agricultural and machinery applications. Moisture content considerations for storage, odor/flavor impact, and even the friction coefficient concerning bulb size underscore the complexity of garlic's engineering dynamics. By unraveling these properties, this study aims to fuel advancements in cultivation practices, machinery design, and processing technologies, enhancing efficiency and product quality in the agricultural and food engineering sectors.
