| Detailed Product Description: |
White and yellow food corn hybrids are dent corn with
specific endosperm (starch) traits, often referred to as hard endosperm.
White food corn has a white kernel color and whiter starch.
Both yellow and white food corns
contain high amounts of vitreous (having a ?°glasslike?± texture)
endosperm relative to the amount of floury endosperm. Specific
quality traits for alkaline-processed foods include ease and
completeness of pericarp (seedcoat) removal, hardness of endosperm,
kernel crown configuration, uniform sized kernels, high specific
gravity, kernel red streak resistance, and a white cob. White corn
typically has 2.5-5 lb/bu higher test weight than commodity corn.
White and yellow food corns are typically contracted and sold to
dry-mill processors and used in alkaline cooking processes for
making masa, tortilla chips, snack foods, and grits.
White food grade has a limited wet milling use for food grade starch
and paper uses. |
