Lb. per Bushel
of Wheat.
Water. 0.282
Ash. 0.101
Albuminoids. 0.349
Woody fiber. 0.160
Carbo-hydrates (starchy matters). 1.088

BRAN.
Bran, the outer coating of the wheat, contains twice or three times as
much fiber as does either of the other products from wheat, and
proportionately less of each of the other ingredients except ash,
which is greater, perhaps partly due to foreign matter adhering to the
kernel. The following analysis shows the amount of constituents
removed by the bran (10 lb.) from one bushel of wheat:
Lb. per Bushel
of Wheat.
Water. 1.459
Ash. 0.506
Albuminoids. 1.416
