restriction imposed under these regulations.
0.5 This standard contains clauses 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 which call for an
agreement between the purchaser and the vendor.
0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2..1960*. The number of significant places retained in
the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements and the methods of
sampling and test for MAIDA for general purposes.
2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, MAIDA for general purposes shall
mean the product obtained by milling cleaned, hard or soft wheat or
blends thereof in a roller flour mill and bolting, and conforming to the
requirements specified under 3.
3. REQUIREMENTS
:1.1 Description - The material shall be free-flowing, dry to the touch
and should not pack when squeezed. The material shall also be crearrlY
in colour and free from any visi ble bran particles. The material shall
have a characteristic taste and smell and shall be free from insect and
fungus infestation, rodent contamination, dirt and other extraneous
matter.
NOTE -

A-I.t Weigh accurately about 10 g of the material in a suitable
moisture dish, previously dried in an electric oven and weighed. Place
the dish in an electric oven main tained at 130 to 133C for 90 minutes.
Cool the dish in a desiccator and weigh with the lid on. Repeat the
process of hea ting, cooling and weighing at half-hour intervals until the
loss in mass between two successive weighings is less than 1 mg. Record
the lowest mass obtained. Preserve the dish containing this dried
material in a desiccator for the determination of total ash ( see B-l.1 ).
