McKay, loc. cit. <3 Koenig “ Chemie der Menschlichen Nabrungs und Genussmitteln,” Vol. 11, gq aumensas analyses of the flour and bread used in Egypt tend to show that the figure for fat, 1°5 per cent, is much in excess of the normal content. The true content would be from 0*5-1 per cent in bread made from better grade flour. The figure 1°5 per cent is from analyses made some years ago of bread made mainly from Egyptian flour comparable to ” ” Grat+ + * whole-meal flour. ** The biological value of millet protein is taken as being equal to that of wheat protein ; there is no experimental evidence on this point.
