1. Name the method by which we can separate seeds and pulp from the fruit

2. What is meant by condensation?

Explicación:

1. In general, the methods followed to extract the Prosopis seed from its fruit can be mechanical or mechanical-chemical. However, regardless of the extraction method used, the ultimate goal is to obtain clean, high-quality seeds.

Seed extraction is often facilitated by allowing the fruit to initially dry for several days at normal air temperatures. Once dry, fruits can often be opened after immersion in boiling water, allowing them to cool while saturating for 24 hours. The seed can also be extracted by carefully rolling a heavy object over the dry pods. While the pods easily break at their constrictions, it can be very difficult to separate the seed from the surrounding endocarp. However, with some effort the seeds can be cleaned, usually by hand or by falling in the air, that is, for example, with mortars and separation by the wind. The pulp can be mechanically separated.

A motorized apparatus, the details of which have been described by Flynt and Morton (1969), can eliminate the very elaborate manual dissection of the Prosopis seed from its fruit. Essentially, this apparatus shown in Figure 2 is a modified cereal husker that functions as a thresher. Details of construction and operation of the thresher are given in Annex 2.

2. Condensation is the change of state of matter that is in the gaseous form (generally in vapors) and turns into a liquid form. It is the reverse process of vaporization, if a transition from a gaseous state to a solid state occurs directly, the process is called reverse sublimation or deposition. If there is a change from a liquid to a solid state, it is called solidification.
