Development of rapid analytical methods for determining corn quality
The study proposed to develop a rapid method for classifying corn according to drying temperature, to develop methods for predicting corn quality characteristics relating to wet-milling, dry-milling and alkaline cooking, and to improve a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique for me...
