Extract

The per cent. of nitrogen in a wheat is no direct index of the amount which its flour will contain. The per cent. of a wheat's protein recovered in the flour varied from 56·84 per cent, to 65·56, while the per cent. of protein occurring in the bran varied between 25 per cent. and 32·77 per cent., and that occurring in the shorts from 8·90 to 10·82 per cent. As an average of these determinations, the protein of the wheat was divided between the flour, bran and shorts in the proportion of 61·87 per cent., 27·98 per cent., and 9·92 per cent. respectively.
