Changes of Phytochemical Contents in Sweet and Waxy Corn (Zea mays L.) as Affected by Cultivars and Growth Stages

Conclusion: Results suggested that the phytochemical contents of all five corn types showed diverse reliance regarding cultivars and maturity stages. The purple waxy and yellow sweet corn cultivars contained a high level of phytochemicals. This would open up a useful opportunity for the functional food industry as consumption of these corn cultivars would afford health benefits to consumers.
