(a)
					 Rice Polish is a by-product of rice obtained in the milling operation of
					 brushing the grain to polish the kernel.
(b) Rice Bran is the pericarp or bran layer
					 and germ of the rice containing not more than 13.0 percent crude fiber with
					 hull fragments, chipped, broken, or brewers rice, and calcium carbonate as may
					 result from good manufacturing processing. When the calcium carbonate exceeds
					 3.0 percent (Ca.-1.2 percent), the percentage must be declared in the brand
					 name; i.e., Rice Bran with Calcium Carbonate not exceeding ___
					 percent.
(c) Rice Bran, Solvent
					 Extracted, is obtained by removing the part of the oil from the rice bran by
					 the use of solvents and shall contain not less than 14.0 percent crude protein,
					 and not more than 14.0 percent crude fiber.
(d) Ground Rough Rice or Ground Paddy Rice is
					 the entire product obtained by grinding the whole rice grain including the hull
					 and contains not more than 10 percent fiber.
(e) Ground Paddy Rice Screenings is the
					 product resulting from the cleaning of paddy rice and consists of immature rice
					 kernels, water grass seed, rice hulls, straw, dirt and sand. It shall be free
					 of unpalatable or injurious weed seeds. When used in a mixture, the maximum
					 percentage shall be stated.
(f)
					 Rice Hulls are the outer coverings of the rice kernel. When used in a mixture,
					 the maximum percentage shall be stated.
(g) Rice Mill By-Product is the total offal

					 Ground Brown Rice is the entire product obtained in grinding the rice kernels

(j) Parboiled Rice Bran is about 5.0 to 7.0
					 percent by weight of Parboiled Rough Rice and is a mixture of a combination of
					 several botanical tissues: pericarp, seed coat, nucellus, and the outer most
					 portion of the endosperm (the aleurone layer). It may contain hull fragments,
					 broken grains and traces of added calcium carbonate as is unavoidable in the
					 milling of parboiled rice.
(k)
					 Stabilized Rice Bran is the bran which has been treated soon after milling by
					 heat or other means that will substantially reduce the lipase activity.
Free fatty acid content of the crude fat extracted shall
						not exceed 4.0 percent.
