Plants produce various essential nutritional substances including natural antioxidants and phytochemicals. These natural bioactive compounds confer health benefits which include protection against cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, degenerative diseases, stroke, obesity and other illnesses. Young corn or Zea maysears are commonly used as vegetable. It is rarely utilized as raw food materials due to the lack of knowledge of its nutritional value and possible functional properties. The present study investigates the ability of young corn as alternative nutritive ingredients to be used in food products. Dried young corn contained 30.4g/100g total dietary fibre (TDF) while aqueous extract residues (AERs) recorded 40.91-57.17g/100g of TDF. Meanwhile, all aqueous extract (AE) samples had very low concentration of TDFs at < 1.0g/100g. Dried young corn had 10.70g/100g of total sugars with fructose and sucrose being the major sugars presented. Among sugars, sucrose was the major component detected in all young corn AEs followed by fructose. AE-90min treatment recorded the highest concentration of sucrose (17.08g/100g) compared to the other treatments which had |
