Abstract

Phosphorus and thiamine determinations in samples of rice polished to different degrees showed that the general pattem of loss was the same for both the nutrients. For a thiamine loss of 50%, the corresponding loss of phosphorus was about 55%. It is thought, therefore, that the percentage loss of phosphorus during the milling may be used as a check to control the degree of polishing of rice in rice mills.
