As vitamin Bg is mainly located in the germ and aleurone layer in cereal grains polishing for the production of flour removes a substantial portion. White bread is therefore a poor source unless fortified. Some nonedible yeasts contain up to 38 mg/100 g dry weight vitamin B, the highest level of the natural sources (4,27). As a rule, these amounts are too low for cost-effective isolation.

Studies of the transfer of radiocerium into various plant parts via the soil-root pathway are summarized in Table 6. Other laboratory and field studies employing tracer radiocerium or nuclear weapons fallout simulants are summarized in Tables 7 and 8. In general, the cereal grains and vegetable pulp showed plant-to-soil concentration factors (radioactivity per gram of dry plant material/radioactivity per gram of...

Starch, a reserve polysaccharide widely distributed in plants, is the most important carbohydrate in the human diet. In plants, starch is present in the chloroplasts in leaves, as well as in fruits, seeds, and tubers. The starch content is especially high in cereal grains (up to 75% of the dry weight), potato tubers (approximately 65%), and in other plant storage organs. 

The best sources of manganese are wheat bran, dried legumes, seeds, nuts and leafy green vegetables, other good sources are cereal grains, coffee and tea. The adequate range in adult diet is 2.5 to 5.0 mg/day.

Brewers dried grains are the dried extracted residue of barley malt alone or in mixture with other cereal grain or grain products resulting from the manufacture of wort or beer and may contain pulverized dried spent hops in an amount not to exceed 3% evenly distributed IFN 5-00-516 Barley brewers grains dehydrated. 

Plutonium is poorly absorbed by plants from the soil, and is not translocated between plant tissues. Romney et al. (1981) found concentration ratios (Pu in vegetation divided by Pu in soil, both per unit dry weight) of less than 1CT4 for leaves and less than 10-6 for cereal grains. 

Several solvents and solvent mixtures have been used for the extraction of tocols. Hexane and a mixture of ethanol and hexane were used to extract tocols from food samples (Kramer et al., 1997 Sundl et al., 2007), acetone from microwave-oven-dried leaves (Gomez-Coronado et al., 2004), methanol from cereal grains (Michalska et al., 2007), and a mixture of methanol and chloroform from pumpkin seeds (Stevenson et al., 2007). A mixture of chloroform and methanol gave 10 20% greater amounts of tocopherols from fresh tree nuts than hexane, indicating that the mixture was more efficient than hexane...
