A wide-ranging technical reference on corn science and uses

This third edition organizes corn knowledge across agriculture, genetics, food science, and industrial application. It addresses the crop’s chemistry and technology alongside developments in genetic modification, including the creation of new hybrids and genotypes. Coverage also extends beyond food: corn is examined as a feedstock for fuel bioethanol, while chapters on phytochemicals and nutraceutical compounds discuss their reported connections to human health and chronic-disease and cancer prevention. With contributions from agronomists, food scientists, and geneticists, the volume is positioned as a substantial reference for understanding corn from cultivation and composition through its varied end uses.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Food science and food technology students
  • Agronomy, crop genetics, and corn researchers
  • Professionals working with corn-based foods, ingredients, or bioethanol

Book overview

Corn: Chemistry and Technology, Third Edition, provides a broad perspective on corn from expert agronomists, food scientists and geneticists. This encyclopedic storehouse of comprehensive information on all aspects of the world's largest crop (in metric tons) includes extensive coverage of recent development in genetic modification for the generation of new hybrids and genotypes. New chapters highlight the importance of corn as a raw material for the production of fuel bioethanol and the emerging topic of phytochemicals or nutraceutical compounds associated to different types of corns and their effect on human health, especially in the prevention of chronic diseases and cancer.

Written by international experts on corn, and edited by a highly respected academics, this new edition will remain the industry standard on the topic.
