Processed sweet corn has higher antioxidant activity.
Processed fruits and vegetables have been long considered to have lower nutritional value than the fresh produce due to the loss of vitamin C during processing. Vitamin C in apples has been found to contribute <0.4% of total antioxidant activity, indicating most of the activity comes from the natural combination of phytochemicals. This suggests that processed fruits and vegetables may retain th...
متن کاملCatalase Activity and Respiration in the Leaves of Growing Barley^
There has been some diiïereiice of opinion as to whether there is an association between catalase activity and respiration. In 1910 Appleman (1) ^ noted a correlation between the two in the potato tuber and later (2) observed the same thing in potato tubers manipulated in various ways to modify respiration and in stem and seed ends of the same tuber. He found a similar correlation in stored swe...
متن کاملProcessing of Sweet Corn
Sweet corn cobs constituting raw material for processing must be characterized by the highest quality of kernels. Kernel quality is defined not just by the chemical and sensory properties, but also by the mechanical parameters of kernels. This appears to fully justify joint consideration of all those properties. Sweet corn is probably a mutant of fodder corn (Orłowski, 2000). Significant differ...
متن کاملImprovement of Sweet Corn
L HE only genetic difference between the composition of a sweet corn kernel and that of field corn is due to a single recessive gene out of the hundreds or thousands of genes in corn. This gene makes the sugary condition of the kernel persist in sweet corn; or, in other words, prevents the conversion of some of the sugar into starch. The first recorded observation of sweet corn by w^hite men ap...
متن کاملIrrigation and Sugar in Sweet Corn
Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) producers desire high yields and high sugar content in the endosperm. High irrigation levels result in high yield, but their effect on sugar content is unclear. The effects of two irrigation levels, standard and stressed on endosperm sugar content were evaluated using three sugary1 hybrids over 2 years. No significant differences were found among the treatments when ave...
