The four main classes of carbohydrate in rice, ( a ) starch, ( b ) pentosans, ( c ) sugars, and ( d ) cellulosic material, have been separately determined and their sum has been shown to agree closely with the composite fraction ‘carbohydrate by difference’. The samples so analysed ranged from the Loonzain to the fully refined stage of rice milling. The methods used have already been applied to wheat flours, 1, 2 the only difference being that, in the case of rice, the cellulosic material may be determined by the normal fibre process.
