Online published on 7 September, 2022. Abstract Basic information on the physical properties of flowers is of great importance and helpful to engineers towards efficient process and machine development. Some of the physical properties of jasmine (Jasminum multiforum. L) have been studied to provide data needed in designing jasmine processing machinery. These Properties include the length of corolla (mm), the diameter of corolla (mm), the weight of 1000 flowers (g), flower projected area (cm2), stalk thickness (mm), the strength of stalk (kgf), bulk density (g/ cm3), moisture content (%), color values such as L*, a* and b*. The average range of these properties for jasmine is in the range of 32.16 to 36.11 mm for the length of corolla, 6.05 to 6.49 mm for the diameter of the corolla, 134.19 to 177.11 g for weight of 1000 flowers, 6.8 to 8.5 cm2 for flower projected area and 1.30 to 1.54 for bulk density (g/cm3). The strength of the stalk falls in the range of 1.38 to 1.98 kgf. Moisture content is in the range of 72 to 74.3, and color values fall in the range of 67.62 to 73.69 for L*, -0.95 to -2.11 for a*, and 11.90 to 16.15 for b*.
