Range - From a high of 6,700 kg/ha (the average OECD-country among principal producers) to 3,400 kg/ha (the average among principal producers in the planned centrally- economies) to 1,500 kg/ha (average among principal developing-country producers). Six types of corn are of major commercial 1982): importance (Considine, Dent - Hard grains, characterized by concavity of the kernel O resulting from shrinkage of the endosperm moisture; with the loss of the majority of U.S.-produced corn is Dent. Flint - Early-maturing, very hard grains (more so to the presence than Dent), due of a hard layer of starch beneath the endosperm; grown principally in Argentina and Africa. Flour or Soft - Large, soft grains with friable endosperm, permitting easy grinding; grown largely in America. South and Central Sweet - Soft, sweet kernels which contain a greater sugar to ratio of starch than other corns; marketed fresh, canned, frozen for human consumption. or Popcorn - Very hard, small, elongated grains, which are consumed in puffed-kernel form. Kwax - Waxy-textured grains often used in of cornstarch. wet-milling production 0 Typical corn kernel composition (Uhlig, 1979): Bran - 6%, with a high fiber content; Germ - 12%, of which about 35% is oil; and Endosperm - 82%, of which about 86% is starch.

The terms can be used interchangeably.) Corn ranks third in world tonnage of grains produced, wheat behind and rice . The majority is consumed as an energy supplement in livestock and poultry feed where its advantages are ease of digestion, high energy content, and price. South In parts of and Central America and Africa, however, it is human consumption. a staple of While sweet corn is palatable to humans in its fresh state, it comprises only a small portion of the total corn human consumption of products. Other corn varieties, the sugar content is much of which lower, require processing prior to human consumption. Milling enhances the water absorption properties thereby of maize starch, expanding food preparation possibilities. It also facilitates the addition of supplemental vitamins and proteins to .Scompensate for corn's nutritional deficiencies in these respects. Additional information on corn milling processes is available in Kent (1983), Technology of Cereals. GLOSSARY Amioca Starch obtained from wet-milling of waxy maize; makes a non-gelling paste character- ized by its clarity, fluidity, and adhesive properties. Bran Thin outer coat of the kernel with a high fiber content. ,.~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Corn Flour Fine, pulverized endosperm particles pro- duced by dry milling. Decortication Removal of outer layers of bran from the grain. Degerminated Meal Highly refined meal from which bran and germ have been almost completely removed; particle size and uniformity are controlled. Has less than 1.2% fiber and less than 2.25% fat content on a moisture-free basis. Dextrose A sweetener which is about 75% as sweet as (Glucose) sucrose (sugar); formed when corn starch is completely hydrolyzed; the main source of body energy. Dextrose A measurement of the degree of conversion of Equivalent starch, expressed as the ratio of the reduc- (DE) ing power of the syrup to that of pure dextrose. Endosperm The starch and protein component of a corn kernel, contained within the bran walls. Germ The embryo or sprouting section of the seed, distinguished by its high oil content. HFCS High fructose corn syrup, an enzyme-converted syrup that is sweeter than traditional acid- converted syrups. Hominy/Grits Degerminated coarsely-milled endosperm with bran removed; particle size ranges from 5.8-0.65 mm; a product of dry-milling.

Instant Starch Pre-gelatinized starch obtained from heated and dried maize starch/water slurries; thick- ens when mixed with cold water. Maltodextrins Solutions having a DE of less than 20. 2 Meal Ground endosperm, classified as coarse and fine, with particle size ranging from 0.65- 0.17 mm. Semi-Sifted Meal Meal from which part of the (Bolted bran and germ Meal) has been removed, and in which particle size and uniformity have been partially controlled. Max: 1.25% ash on a moisture- free basis. Sweet Corn Soft grain corn characterized by a relatively high glucose content; eaten as a vegetable, either fresh, canned, or frozen. Syrups Solutions of starch and water (in which the starch is broken down chemically by hydroly- sis) having a DE of 20 or more. Whole Meal Milled product containing all parts of the grain, i.e., germ and bran as well as endosperm. RAW MATERIALS Corn is a warm weather plant grown in both temperate and tropical climates, in high and low rainfall areas, and and short in zones with long summers. It is a hardy plant, known to withstand extreme heat. even The ideal temperature for germination is 86 degrees F (30 C); slower germination rates temperatures. result under lower Relatively warm day and night temperatures are required during the growing season, which traditional is about 140 days for varieties, 90 to 200 for hybrids. A precipitation level of 25-50 inches (63-127 cm) is preferred (Considine, 1982).

  • Assessment of Grain Safety in Developing Nations
    ASSESSMENT OF GRAIN SAFETY IN DEVELOPING NATIONS by José Rodrigo Mendoza Jiménez A DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Major: Food Science & Technology Under the Supervision of Professors Andréia Bianchini and Jayne E. Stratton Lincoln, Nebraska December, 2020 ASSESSMENT OF GRAIN SAFETY IN DEVELOPING NATIONS José Rodrigo Mendoza Jiménez, Ph.D. University of Nebraska, 2020 Advisor: Andréia Bianchini Grains are the most widely consumed foods worldwide, with maize (Zea mays) being frequently consumed in developing countries where it feeds approximately 900 million people under the poverty line of 2 USD per day. While grain handling practices are acceptable in most developed nations, many developing nations still face challenges such as inadequate field management, drying, and storage. Faulty grain handling along with unavoidably humid climates result in recurrent fungal growth and spoilage, which compromises both the end-quality and safety of the harvest. This becomes particularly problematic where there is little awareness about health risks associated with poor quality grain. Fungi are contaminants of maize and some can produce toxins, known as mycotoxins, that both devalue crop marketability and have detrimental health effects, especially to those malnourished. As some households depend on their harvest for self- consumption, losses due to fungi endanger their food security. To abate the threat posed by mycotoxigenic fungi on maize among developing nations, this research was conducted as a compilation of works in several countries. More specifically, it describes agricultural practices currently in use in developing nations, provides an overview of mycotoxin prevalence and approaches that can be used to improve grain safety post-harvest through proper storage.

  • Maize Processing in Tanzania: Prospects for SME Participation
    Maize Processing in Tanzania: Prospects for SME Participation Project Brief, June 2020 ES/S0001352/1 Dr H.B.Lunogelo, Dr Hazel Gray and Professor Fortunata Makene www.iiap.info Project Overview Innovation and Inclusion Industrialisation in Agro-Processing is a two-year collaboration between researchers from the University of Edinburgh, the University of Johannesburg, and the Economic and Social Research Foundation, Tanzania. The project is a comparative study conducted across Tanzania and South Africa focusing on three value chains: maize meal, citrus and dairy. The three aims of the study are: First, to describe the factors that determine innovation and inclusion in agro-processing Second, explain the challenges to promoting SME participation in agro-processing value chains Third, to use these findings to support industrial policy formulation at the national and regional level In this project brief, we set out the key issues arising from our scoping work on maize milling in Tanzania. 1: Summary As an economic crop, maize accounts for 74.3% of cereals production and 66% of all crops harvested annually (NBS, 2017)1. It contributes about 40% of calorific foods consumed (Bymolt et.al., 20172). Maize flour is used to make a meal popularly known as ‘ugali’. SMEs play a major role in the midstream of the maize value chain. Micro and small-scale maize millers are particularly prominent in rural settings and small trading centres but they also operate in larger towns and cities. The maize milling business has also attracted medium and large- scale investors with national and regional market outreach for their milled and packaged products.

Box 62000-00100, Nairobi, Kenya. 2Ministry of Health (Government of Kenya), P. O. Box 30016-100, Nairobi, Kenya. Received 15 December, 2018; Accepted 28 February, 2019 Maize is the most widely consumed staple food by the Kenyan population. Its wide consumption and centralized processing make it an appropriate fortification vehicle to supply essential micronutrients to the population. The legislation was enacted in 2012 that makes it mandatory for all commercial maize mills in Kenya to fortify the maize flour with specified micronutrients as a public health effort to reduce the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies. However, there is limited information on the current status of maize milling and implementation of the flour fortification programme by these mills. A cross- sectional study was therefore carried out to characterize the commercial maize mills and determine the status of flour fortification in Kenya. Questionnaires were used to collect data. Information was obtained from 22 large-scale, 25 medium-scale and 31 small-scale mills. These mills had an installed capacity of 6084 metric tons/day of flour using roller and hammer mills.

  • Effect of Processing on Total Amino Acid Profile of Maize and Cowpea Grains
    www.sospublication.co.in Journal of Advanced Laboratory Research in Biology We- together to save yourself society e-ISSN 0976-7614 Volume 4, Issue 2, April 2013 Research Article Effect of Processing on Total Amino Acid Profile of Maize and Cowpea Grains Malomo Olu*, Alamu, A.E. and Oluwajoba, S.O. *College of Food Science, Bells University of Technology, Ota P.M.B. 1015, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. Abstract: During the processing of cereal grains, a substantial proportion of the nutrients are lost, most especially the proteins in the form of the smallest moiety called amino acids. The objective of this study is to investigate the proportional loss due to processing, in order to throw more light in external fortification of the processed grains as may be necessary for the future. This investigation carried out the amino acid profile of drum dried; freeze dried and spray dried products of processed maize and cowpea grains in order to establish the after effects of these processing methods on the amino acid profile of the residual products. The processed methods investigated have been reported to be ideal for the preservation of processed grains in the powdered forms and amino acids availability in the products will determine the final protein nutritional value of the processed food products.

Sorry about the corona pandemic and congratulations on, heroically, fighting this enemy in spite of all the hardships it has caused us. Since March, 18th 2020, I, myself, am like a prisoner in Nakasero and Entebbe. I have managed to sneak out a few times to Karamoja for the Marbles factory, to Jinja for the rising waters of the Lakes and Rivers, Nakasongola for the fire-fighting vehicle manufactured by the Luwero Industries, the factories in Namanve, to Kasese for the landslides and, recently, to Kasubi and Lubigi for the new market and the new anti- flooding channel respectively. Only half of the Ministers meet every Monday in order to keep the numbers small and spread out in your big Entebbe State House Hall that normally seats 600 people. The Members of Parliament had to move out of the building to a big tent outside and have small numbers at a time. 1 We have to wear masks all the time and they are quite uncomfortable. However, health is wealth, the English say. Amagara gakira amagana (life is more important than wealth), the Banyankore say.
