Methods of Anaylsis for Wheat Products

16. General

 

(1) In order to determine whether a wheat product complies with the requirement for such product, the product shall—
(a) be analysed in duplicate;
(b) where necessary, be ground to such a fineness as to allow all the material to pass through a round hole sieve with aperture of 2 mm;
(c) be mixed thoroughly before any determination is made;
(d) be measured out in grams accurately to the fourth decimal place unless where otherwise specified; and
(e) in the case of baked products, be treated in such a manner that, except in the case of the determination of the dry solids mass, the 2 crust end are first separated from the product and the remaining portion is then cut into thin slices and the crust and crumb are air-dry, ground to such a fineness as to allow the sample to pass through a 1.0 mm sieve.
