NOTES ON ANALYSES OF KICE. 



As in the case of the preceding cereals, it will be of interest here to 

 compare the mean results of the analyses carried on with the World's 

 Pair samples with those on record in other places. In the case of the 

 World's Fair samples, the maxima and minima as well as the means are 

 given as before, while in other cases only the means are recorded.

The mean composition of the different classes of rice as shown by the 

 analyses of the World's Fair samples is almost the same as that shown 

 by the work of other analysts collated a s indicated above. A typical 

 unhulled rice will have about the following composition : 



Weight of 100 kernels grams . . 3.00 



Moisture per cent.. 10.50 



Albuminoids do 7. 50 



Fat T ... do.... 1.60 



Fiber do 9 



Ash do 4 



Carbohydrates do 67.40 



A typical hulled rice, but unpolished, would have about the following 

 composition : 



Weight of 100 kernels grams.. 2. 50 



Moisture per cent. . 12 



Albuminoids do 8 



Fat do.... 2 



Fiber do 1 



Ash do 1 



Carbohydrates do 76
