Abstract
Seventh Report from the Scientific Adviser's Division, Ministry of Food THE extraction of national flour was reduced from 82½ per cent to 80 per cent on January 1, 1945. A survey of this 80 per cent flour has been carried out on similar lines to that of the 82½ per cent national flour survey1. Samples received from controlled mills were examined weekly for colour index and granularity and at frequent intervals for vitamin BD fibre, ash, calcium, iron, riboflavin and nicotinic acid, as described in the sixth report1, with the exception that fibre was determined only on samples sent by Ministry of Food inspectors and calcium was determined only once in four weeks. In addition, about forty loaves were baked each week from different flour samples.
