abstract = {The physical and mechanical properties of the newly “Zhongyousha No.1” and the traditional “Yousha” Chinese tiger nut varieties are studied. Several physical and mechanical properties of the two tiger nut varieties were determined as a function of moisture content (at five levels of 40.0, 32.0, 24.0, 16.0 and 8.0% wet basis). The physical and mechanical properties including length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, surface area, sphericity, compression rupture force, firmness, shear rupture force and shear strength. All tiger nut mechanical properties were significantly affected by moisture content (P},
