Abstract
BIOLOGICAL products are commonly both complex and subject to variability. Research work on their production, whether genetic or nutritional, or even purely an attempt at classification, cannot proceed far before it becomes an urgent necessity to define the nature of the product and to measure its varying characteristics. More particularly is it necessary to consider those differences that are of practical importance.
