seeds are promite to dietary and healthy oils because they contain essential fatty acids. seeds frequently produce mucilage on soaking, and this mucilage is used for the treatment of eye diseases in eastern countries. species studied for medicine, food and cosmetics, have the potential to be used in the various fields. In the present study, selected engineering (geometrical, volumetrical, colour and frictional) properties of 6 species seeds were determined and compared.
This study was performed on selected engineering properties of seeds of 6 species ( L., L., Montbert & Aucher ex Benthan., ., L., Jacq.,) cultivated in Turkey. Plants were collected during the vegetation in 2012-2013 (May-Agust). The seeds were cleaned from foreign matter, dirt and broken seeds manually.
The average length, width and thickness were found in the range of 2.61 to 3.53 mm, 1.59 to 2.92 mm and 1.14 to 2.52 mm, respectively. L. specie had the lowest geometric mean diameter and surface area, whereas L. had the least values among these 6 species for these properties. The bulk density, true density and the porosity were between 296.83 and 702.80 kg m, 285.69 and 718.08 kg m, 10.27 and 44.05%, respectively. The volume of unit seed and sphericity ranged between 2.56 and 13.64 mm, 62.90 and 90.40%, respectively. The coefficient of friction of salvia species were largely influenced by the friction surfaces studied, and highest values were found for polywood in the L.. In the study, the static friction coefficient and the angle of repose of species changed from 0.477 to 0.955, and from 14.09 to 23.57°, respectively.
Determination of geometric, volumetric, colour and frictional properties of Salvia spp. seeds may increase their economic value.
种子富含必需脂肪酸，是优质的食用和健康用油来源。种子浸泡时常常会产生黏液，在东方国家，这种黏液被用于治疗眼部疾病。对用于医药、食品和化妆品的物种进行研究，它们有潜力应用于各个领域。在本研究中，测定并比较了6种种子的选定工程学（几何、体积、颜色和摩擦）特性。
本研究针对在土耳其种植的6种（L.、L.、Montbert & Aucher ex Benthan.、.、L.、Jacq.）种子的选定工程学特性展开。在2012 - 2013年植被生长期间（5月至8月）采集植物。种子通过手工去除杂质、污垢和破损种子。
平均长度、宽度和厚度分别在2.61至3.53毫米、1.59至2.92毫米和1.14至2.52毫米范围内。L. 物种的几何平均直径和表面积最小，而在这6种物种中，L. 在这些特性方面的值最小。堆积密度、真密度和孔隙率分别在296.83至702.80千克/立方米、285.69至718.08千克/立方米、10.27至44.05%之间。单位种子体积和球形度分别在2.56至13.64立方毫米、62.90至90.40%之间。鼠尾草属物种的摩擦系数在很大程度上受所研究的摩擦表面影响，在L. 中，胶合板的摩擦系数最高。在该研究中，物种的静摩擦系数和休止角分别从0.477变化到0.955，从14.09变化到23.57°。
测定鼠尾草属种子的几何、体积、颜色和摩擦特性可能会提高其经济价值。
