The Anton Paar Company used an Ultrapyc 5000 gas pycnometer to measure the density of amaranth seed samples. The purpose of this experiment was to measure the true density of two different samples of Amaranthus seeds, of the two starch types. The average density of PLAINSMAN (opaque seeds) was found to be 1.3915 g/cm³. While the average density of K112 (translucent seeds) was found to be 1.4031 g/cm³.
