SummaryA new procedure for the analysis of tung fruit for oil and moisture content has been developed wherein it is possible to largely eliminate the sampling errors which occur in component procedure used in the past because of the relatively small samples used. Collaborative studies have indicated that to obtain results similar to those obtained in analysis by the component procedure a correction of 0.37% must be subtracted from the oil content obtained with the Wiley‐Bauer ground fruit, but no correction appears to be necessary in the case of the Wiley‐Raymond ground material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
