Sampling Procedures and Measurements
C.1 Sampling procedures for input
The conditions of the input such as moisture content of bean and shell, bean-pod ratio,
damaged beans and purity to be used in each test shall be taken using three (3)
representative samples, which represent the different conditions of mungbean input in the
bulk. This is done by randomly taking samples at the top, middle and bottom portions of
the bulk. Half of the sample shall be used for laboratory analysis and the other half shall
be used for reference purposes or for an eventual second check in case of review.
Samples representing the materials for each test trial shall be placed in appropriate
containers for laboratory analysis.
C.2 Sampling from Different Outlets
During each test trial, three (3) sets of samples shall be randomly collected during the
duration of the test trial from the different outlets to be analyzed in the laboratory for the
determination of losses, purity, bean- pod ratio and mechanically damaged beans.
C.2.1 Sampling from shelled mungbean outlet
During each test trial, three (3) samples shall be randomly taken from the shelled
mungbean outlet. The minimum amount of sample to be taken shall be twice as what is
needed for the laboratory analysis.
C.2.2 Sampling from blower outlet
During each test trial, three (3) samples shall be randomly taken from the blower outlet
for a duration of at least 10 seconds per collection by using catching net. These samples
shall be placed in appropriate containers and labeled as blower loss.
C.3 Handling of Samples
All samples to be taken to the laboratory shall be placed in appropriate containers and
properly labeled. If the samples are not to be immediately analyzed they should be air-
dried and if necessary, treat samples with chemicals such as insecticide in order to
prevent the samples from possible damage. If the sample is to be used for determining
moisture content, it must be kept in dry and airtight containers.

E.3 Measurement of bean-pod ratio
In measuring the bean-pod ratio, take three (3) representative samples of approximately
100 pods from the test materials. For each sample, manually shell the pod. Determine
the weight of the bean and the shell separately. Record and calculate the bean-pod ratio.
E.4 Measurement of shelled mungbean and pod dimension and weight
This shall be taken using at least ten (10) representative samples of shelled mungbean
and pod, and measure the length, diameter and weight.
E.5 Damaged beans determination
Three 100-gram bean samples from manually shelled beans shall be taken for analysis.
These beans shall be inspected for any damages. The net percent damaged beans shall
be taken as the difference between the values obtained from the manual and machine
shelled bean samples.
E.6 Mechanically damaged beans determination
Three 100-gram samples from machine shelled beans shall be taken for analysis.
Separate those beans that were broken or crushed and weigh.
E.7 Determination of losses
E.7.1 Blower loss
Three (3) samples shall be taken at the shell outlet to collect shelled mungbean with
shells. Each sample shall be cleaned and weighed. The total weight of the clean shelled
mungbean and the total time of collection shall be recorded for the computation.

E.7.3 Unshelled loss
In each test trial, unshelled beans from all outlets shall be separated and weighed. The
time of collection of the three (3) samples shall be taken and recorded for the computation
of the unshelled loss.
E.7.4 Scattered loss
Shelled mungbean scattered around the machine shall be collected after each trial,
cleaned and weighed for the determination of scattering loss. Use catching nets or spread
canvass sheets around the shelling floor area to collect beans.
