 - In longitudinal section, the endosperm shows a central mealy part surrounded by a horny part this must account for the dominant part of the total cut surface. The percentage of these grains must not be less than NINETY-FIVE PERCENT (*5%) (expressed in units), with a tolerance of least three percent (*3%) .
