LESSON 2: EXAMPLE 1 The Four Parts of a Kernel of Corn THE ENDOSPERM The endosperm is about 82 percent of the kernels dry weight and is the source of energy (starch) and protein for the germinat- ing seed. There are two types of endosperm, THE PERICARP soft and hard. In the hard endosperm, The pericarp is the outer covering starch is packed tightly together. of the kernel that protects it from In the soft endosperm, the starch deterioration. It resists water is loose. When corn dries in the and water vapor and is field before harvest, the undesirable to insects and moisture loss causes the soft microorganisms. endosperm to collapse and form a dent in the top of the kernel, thus the term dent corn. THE GERM The germ is the only living part of the corn kernel. It contains the essential genetic THE TIP CAP information,enzymes, vitamins and minerals for the kernel to grow into a The tip cap is the only area of corn plant. About 25 percent of the the kernel not covered by the germ is corn oil. Corn oil is the most pericarp. It was the attachment valuable part of the corn kernel. It is point of the kernel to the cob. high in linoleic fatty acid (polyunsatu- rated fat) and has a bland taste.
