Abstract:
... Dried Lycium ruthenicum Murray (LM) fruits were ground by three different methods. The results showed that LM powders produced by superfine-grinding had smaller particle size (1.78–200.00 μm) as compared to shear-breaking and ball-milling. As a consequence, its bulk density, angle of repose and angle of slide were increased to 0.71 g/mL, 52.99° and 60.38°, respectively. Moreover, the superfine-gro ...
