Test weight [Grain]

Test weight is the weight of a measured volume of grain expressed in kilograms per hectolitre

Toxic or Noxious Seeds [Grain]

Grain products shall be free from toxic or noxious seeds in amounts which may represent a hazard to human health (e.g. Crotolaria (Crotalaria spp.), Corn cockle (Agrostemma githago L.), Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) Jimson weed (Datura spp.), and other seeds that are commonly recognized as harmful to health.

Trans fatty acid [Fat]

Trans fatty acids are formed during the partial hydrogenation of an oil. Some of the unsaturated fatty acids present are changed from their natural cis shape to a trans shape like that of the saturated acids. In consequence, many of the physical properties of trans-acids, such as melting point, are nearer to those of the saturated acids, although double bonds are still present.

Concerns have been raised for several decades that consumption of trans fatty acids might have contributed to coronary heart disease.
