Abstract

An investigation is reported in which a small ‘spherical’ blender was examined to ascertain if its use reduced the within-sub-sample component of total alkali-insolubles. Although this proved to be the case, the blender modified the alkali solubility of the vegetable matter, so that the recovered mass of alkali-insolubles was decreased. Use of the spherical blender for scoured sub-samples that are to be tested for vegetable-matter content by the standard method (IWTO–19–76(E)) is not therefore recommended.
