Abstract
The removal of the husk of barley by means of sulphuric acid as previously described provides the basis of a method for determining husk-content and permits mealiness to be estimated by direct examination of the endosperm. Husk is determined from the difference in dry 1,000-corn weight between the original and treated barley. Mealiness is determined from visual assessment of corns of different degrees of steeliness in the sample.Keywords
