- An investigation on Some Engineering Properties and natural durability of Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) pulp and seed were carried out in different locations. Avocado fruit is a tropical fruit and is one of the most productive plants per unit of cultivated area. Avocado stands out for its high nourishing value and it is usefulness to growth and development. It has also been the subject of intense and varied use in the past not only for its importance in food but also for medicinal needs. From the investigation carried out on mechanical properties, avocado seed will attain a value of 2352.200N force at peak and any value higher than this; will cause it to break when determining the effect of moisture content on avocado seed along longitudinal loading. In the same vein, avocado seed will attain a value of 1497.000N force at peak and any value higher than this; will cause it to break when determining the effect of moisture content on avocado seed along axial loading. The thermal properties investigated were thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, ash, specific heat and calorific value. This research work and results obtained will enable engineer in designing machines that can be used for processing, handling and storage of avocado pulp and seed.
