Key Points

To evaluate how different moisture contents, loading axes, and loading speeds influence the mechanical rupture characteristics of two safflower seed varieties.
Tested seeds from two safflower varieties ('Shifa' and 'Remzibey-05').
Applied compressive force across three moisture levels, three loading axes (x-, y-, z-), and three loading speeds (30, 60, and 90 mm min-1).
Loading axis and speed significantly altered mechanical behavior across different seed moisture levels (p < 0.05).
Key rupture parameters—including rupture force, deformation, rupture energy, and required rupture power—varied significantly depending on loading conditions and moisture.
