β¦ Synopsis
The development of a serradella dehuller was undertaken because the low 10% germination of unhulled serradella seed was hindering adoption of serradella pastures by graziers . Manual processing of unhulled serradella seed showed that high germination seed could be obtained only through both dehulling and scarification of the naked seed . Dehulling and scarification raised the seed germination from 10% to 85% . This preliminary work showed that two processes based upon quite dif ferent mechanisms warranted investigation , namely hull cracking by gentle compression (popping) , and shearing the hull between circular rotating plates (threshing) . The testing of small prototypes showed that only the threshing process had potential to process unhulled seed at the commonly used commercial rate of 500 kg / h . The testing of a small thresher unit prototype provided important information about the basic dehulling operation which was required to design a commercialscale dehulling unit .

The variation in content and changes during development of soyasaponin I in dehulled Swedish peas (Pisum sativum L) were investigated. The content of soyasaponin I in 40 dehulled pea samples ranged from 0Γ82 to 2Γ5 g kg~1 with a mean of 1Γ5 g kg~1. No signiΓcant di β erences in soyasaponin content we
