Оглавление—Samples of fresh beef intended for canning purposes, and examined in the Bureau of Chemistry, have the following composition:
| Water, | 71.17 | percent |
| Insoluble protein, | 13.87 | „ |
| Globulins, | 1.38 | „ |
| Proteoses, peptones, and gelatin, | 1.31 | „ |
| Meat bases, | 1.09 | „ |
| Fat, | 9.89 | „ |
| Ash, | .96 | „ |
| Salt, | .04 | „ |
| Undetermined, | .33 | „ |
The sample, of which the above data are representative, was secured from a mass of meat weighing 356 pounds, after passing through a sausage grinder and being thoroughly mixed. The above data may therefore be regarded as the representative constituents of the usual grade, most carefully selected canning beef.
