V. Singh et al., WET-MILLING CHARACTERISTICS OF SELECTED YELLOW DENT CORN HYBRIDS AS INFLUENCED BY STORAGE-CONDITIONS, Cereal chemistry, 75(2), 1998, pp. 235-240
Three yellow dent corn hybrids (FR1064xLH59, FR600xFR1087, and FR618xL
H123HT) from the 1994 crop, one hybrid (FR1064xLH59) from the 1995 cro
p, and two hybrids (FR1064xLH59 and FR618xLH123HT) from the 1996 crop
were used to study the effect of storage time and storage temperature
on starch yields. Samples of all of the corn hybrids were stored under
one of two conditions: in a 4 degrees C cold room or under a shed exp
osed to ambient conditions. The hybrids from the 1994, 1995, and 1996
crops were stored for up to 24, 12, and 3 months, respectively. No sig
nificant differences were found between starch yields of the hybrids w
ith respect to storage time. However, there was a significant differen
ce in hybrids from the 1994 samples. Starch yields of two of the three
corn hybrids (from the 1994 crop) stored in the 4 degrees C cold room
were higher when compared to the starch yields of the same hybrids st
ored at ambient conditions.
