Often we bear people talk about the
ngm processes ia milling and the fine
griDding reducing the value OF Aour
as a food product Such are always
advocates OF graham and whole beat
aours. With an idea Of determining
exac4lg the Talue Of different 8ours as
d food the IT. s department of agracnl
tare carried on at the Universities Of
Minnesota and Maine extensive in
rFsiigatSOns relating TO the digestibil
itE aud nmiTifive value of all types OF
a0lr, graham ca wheai meal which lis
prepared by grinding heenfire wheat
kernel without removing the bran
shorts or germ-those portions COM
naOnly known as wheat 0ffals and
the so-cal1ed eBfire-wheaf -four made
by removing a part of the bran and
grinding THE material finer than for
graharn AOur. The conclusions reach
ed from these experiments are given
i'm one of the reports as follows:
According 10 chemical analysis Of
the graham. entire wheat and stand
ard patent aours milled from the Same
Aof OF hard Scotch Fife wheat, the
graham aoqr contained the highest
and the patent -four the lowest per-
csntage Of total protein lglutinous
matter). But, according TO The re-
suits of digestion experiments with
these fOurs, the proportion OF digest
ibEe prOstin and available energy in
the patent -four wsas larger than In
either the eDfire-Mhesi or the graham
-four. The lower disgestibility Of the
protein ia the graham -four il due to
the fact that In both graham and en-
tire wheat fours a considerable por
ton Of pEotien is contained in the
coarse particles fbrsDA. and NO resists
the action OF the digestive juices and
escapes digestion. Thus while there
naturally may be more pnOsein in a
given amount Of graham or entire
~heat four than ia the same weight
of patent -four from the same wheat.
the body obtains less Of the protein
and energy from the coarse 6our than
II does from the fine. because, al
though The including Of the bran and
germ increases the percentage of
protein, it decreases the digestibiIity.T
