Problem Faced in the Domain:
Maize is one of the most important crops, available in the world but as stated with great importance comes major challenges. A few of these challenges are identified during our searches which has a major impact on the domain:
- Chemical instability of bioactive compounds, especially phenolic compounds, resulting in vulnerable alterations in structure and function when exposed to light, oxygen, heat, enzymatic activity, and water.
- Meeting growing consumer demands for health via many currently available items, such as mayonnaise and dressings, formulated without using any chemicals and with ingredients sourced from plants or animals are preferred.
- The use of UV-C irradiation to corn seeds alone does not significantly improve plant yield.
Innovative Solutions in the Domain:
- Using maize waste for encapsulating phenolic chemicals will safeguard and improve the bioavailability of phenolic compounds with the potential to extend the shelf-life.
- Cob from sweet corn can be used as a functional ingredient for dressings to enhance the value of the product and promote sustainability.
- Significant improvements were observed in the performance of corn seeds after 30 days of treatment when UV-B irradiation was used instead of UV-C irradiation. These improvements manifested as an increase in flavonoid concentration and a higher yield of harvestable crop material.
