A Antioxidant Activities of Yellow Corn (Zea mays L.) Inbreds from Three Different Geographic Locations

Antioxidant compounds found in corn kernels are mainly polyphenols including flavonoid, vitamins, carotenoids, and so forth. In this study, yellow kernels lines were used for analyzing antioxidant activity in which effects of anthocyanin were withdrawn. The effects of carotenoids on the antioxidant activity were investigated which would provide useful information for corn biofortification since the most of corn produced in the world are yellow or white.
