SRM 1568a - Rice FlourThis Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended primarily for calibrating instruments and evaluating the reliability of analytical methods for the determination of minor and trace elements in rice flour and similar agricultural food products. The rice flour for this SRM was described by the supplier as 100 % long grain from Arkansas. At NIST, the material was passed through a 425 -tm (No. 40) sieve and blended. The bottled material was then radiation sterilized at Neutron Products, Inc., Dickerson, MD. Keywords: biological material , plant material , agricultural food products , foodstuff , trace elements |
