Analysis (per cent.) 



The Connecticut Station (B. 130, p. 33), gives a summary of eight 

 complete analyses of these materials: 



Per cent. 



Moisture, 8.43 



Ash, 2. GO 



Protein, 11.35 



Fiber, 4 .92 



Nitrogen-free extract, 64 . 64 



Fat, 8.06 



So that, having about six or seven per cent, less fiber than corn 

 bran and about five per cent, more starchy matter, the hominy chops 

 more nearly resemble entire corn meal in composition; practically it 

 diifers from the corn itself only in having a few per cent, less starch 

 and relatively more of the other valuable components. 



From their composition it is evident that a number of samples 

 whose brand name indicates that they may be simply ordinary corn 

 chop, belong rather among the hominy chops. They are the fol- 

 lowing: 



Their percentage composition is as follows: 



No.
