Abstract
9 samples of Japanese rice were milled by a test pearler to 7 varied polyshing rates, and phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, calcium, manganese and iron therein were determined. Decrease of magnesium with decreasing polyshing rate was the most noticeable, and that of calcium was the least.Positive correlations were found between the amounts of inorganic constituents of each brown rice and milled rice examined, except for calcium and potassium, for which the correlations were less clear.
