This edition offers complete, up-to-date coverage of all aspects of one of the world’s largest crops, including these new topics:

  • Specialty corns and developments in genetic modification for the generation of new corn hybrids and genotypes

  • The phytochemicals associated with different types of corn and their effects on human health, especially in preventing chronic diseases and cancer

  • The importance of corn in the production of bioethanol

  • The production and postharvest handling of corn, with both food and nonfood applications

Like previous editions, the third edition of Corn: Chemistry and Technology will serve as a standard reference work. It will be a valuable resource for scientists and engineers who utilize corn for food, feed, and industrial materials in both science and industry. In addition, it will be a comprehensive resource for teachers and students, growers and extension agents, and industrial R&D professionals, including those working in food, feeds, and bioenergy.
