FOOD GRAINS:
Food grains shall include edible cereals, millets and pulses free from any deleterious admixture hazardous to human health
REFRACTIONS:
The term applies to all components of grains which differ from sound grains. The following items shall constitute the refractions.
FOREIGN MATTER:
Includes organic and inorganic matter. The inorganic matter shall include sand, gravel, dirt, pebbles, stones, lumps of earth, clay and mud. The organic matter shall include chaff, straw, weed seeds and other inedible grains. In case of rice, paddy shall also considered as foreign matter.
OTHER FOODGRAINS:
Any food grains other than the grain concerned.
VARIETAL ADMIXTURE:
The presence of variety of the same grain other than the variety under consideration shall constitute the varietal admixture.
IMMATURE:
Kernals or pieces of grain kernals that are not fully devoloped.
BROKENS:
Pieces of kernals that are less than three-fourths of the size of the full kernals.In case of dals,pieces that are less than the size of three-fourths of the split pulse shall be considered as brokens.
A) BIG BROKENS:
Those pieces of rice kernals hich are equal to or smaller than three-fourths but bigger than one half of the average length of the unbroken kernal.
B) MEDIUM BROKENS:
Those pieces of rice kernals which are equal to or smaller than one-half but bigger than one-quarter the average length of the unbroken kernal.
C) SMALL BROKENS:
Those pieces of rice kernals which donot exceed one-fourth of the average length of unbroken kernal,retained on 1.10mm IS sieve.
DAMAGED:
Kernals or pieces of kernals that are sprouted or internally damaged as a result of heat,microbes,moisture or weather.
SLIGHTLY DAMAGED OR TOUCHED:
Kernals or pieces of kernals that are damaged or discolored superficially so as not to affect the quality of the material.
DISCOLORED:
Kernals or pieces of kernals that have changed the colour in the process of handling.
INSECT DAMAGED:
Kernals that are partially or wholly bored.
CHALKY:
Kernals or pieces of kernals of which atleast half of the portion is opaque,milky hite in colour and brittle in nature.
RED GRAINS:
Kernals or pieces of kernals having more than one-fourth of the surface covered with red cuticle.
FRAGMENTS:
Pieces of kernals that are one-eighth of the size of the full kernals.
DE HUSKED GRAINS:
Kernals,whole or broken which have more than one-fourth of the surface area of the kernal covered ith bran.
FRAGMENTS IN SPLIT PULSES:
Pieces of kernals taht are one-fourth or less than the full size of the split pulse.
MOISTURE:
The loss in mass caused as a result of heating for to hours at 130 degree centigrade to 133 degree centigrade under specified conditions and expressed as percentage.

I would suggest a correction in the definition of FRAGMENTS:
ReplyDelete"pieces of kernels that are less than one-eighth of the size of the full kernels"
