Popis: Since its establishment the Maize Research Institute, Zemun Polje has been having an extremely important role in the improvement of maize production and utilisation. The aim of this manuscript is to present results of studies on chemical composition, physical and technological grain traits, i.e. utilisable value of the most widely grown ZP maize hybrids. Previous achievements and prospects of the development of chemistry and processing technology of maize grain as a highly valuable renewable raw material for industrial processing, different technical purposes and the food and feed production are presented. Results gained in many decades of studies show that maize hybrids developed at the Maize Research Institute, Zemun Polje are the unique initial material for the production of starch, bioethanol and highly-valuable food and feed, as well as a reliable sign-post for researchers performing maize breeding and selection in order to direct future studies within this field.
