Some physical properties of custard apple seed (Annona Squamosa) were evaluated as a function of moisture content. The average length, width, thickness and thousand seed mass were 13.58 mm, 7.75 mm, 5.48 mm and 312 g respectively, at 17.64 percent (d.b.) moisture content. The seed size was decreased from 8.31 to 8.11 mm whereas; sphericity was decreased from 0.614 to 0.611with decreased in the moisture content of 17.64 to 11.11 percent (d.b.). Studies were showed that the bulk density and true density were increased from 566.9 to 583.1 kg/m3 and 952.38 to 1052.63 kg/m3 , respectively, whereas, the corresponding bulk porosity was increased from 40.47 to 44.60 percent with decrease in moisture content. The angle of repose and coefficient of friction were decreased with decrease in moisture content.
