• Crop management affects dry-milling quality of flint maize kernels 

      Cirilo, Alfredo Gabriel; Actis, Marcos; Andrade, Fernando Hector; Valentinuz, Oscar Rodolfo (Elsevier, 2011-05)
      Dry-milling performance of maize (Zea mays, L.) kernels primarily depends on their hardness. The flint type is harder than the dent and semi-dent maize, yielding a higher proportion of big endosperm pieces in the mill. ...
    • Environment affects starch composition and kernel hardness in temperate maize 

      Martínez, Roberto Dionisio; Cirilo, Alfredo Gabriel; Cerrudo, Aníbal Alejandro; Andrade, Fernando Hector; Izquierdo, Natalia Gabriela (Wiley, 2022-03)
      BACKGROUND: Protein percentage and kernel weight affect the endosperm hardness of maize grains. However, changes in starch composition could also modify kernel hardness, which is often predicted through milling ratio. The ...
