Excerpt from Experiments on the Digestibility of Wheat Bran in a Diet Without Wheat Flour The figure 44. 7 per cent reported for the digestibility of bran pro tein results from averaging the figures obtained in five tests, while the figure 56. 6 per cent reported for bran carbohydrate results from averaging eight experiments. The. Figure per cent agrees closely with that obtained by Pannwitz,1 who found that the protein of finely ground bran was per cent digested. However, the value per cent obtained by including only three tests is considerably higher' than his figure. The figure per cent for the digestibility of bran carbohydrate is materially lower than that of the carbohydrate of cereal flours or meals or the carbohydrate of the average mixed diet, a fact ln accord with data reported by other observers.
